WindMaster 3-axis ultrasonic anemometer

WindMaster 3-axis ultrasonic anemometer

The Gill WindMaster is a precision anemometer offering three-axis wind measurement data. This instrument will monitor wind speeds of 0-50m/s and provides sonic temperature, speed of sound and U, V & W vector outputs at 20Hz (32Hzoptional).

This anemometer is of aluminium/carbon fibre construction and is ideal for the understanding of turbulent flows, surface energy balance and scalar fluxes. Each WindMaster can be calibrated with an optional Gill wind tunnel test to provide optimum performance.
