The MSO features wind speed, wind direction, temperature, relative humidity, and barometric pressure sensors. A rainfall measurement option can be added by integrating a tipping bucket rain gage directly into the serial message being outputted by the MSO, or by simply connecting it to another port on a data logger shared with the MSO.

The pre-assembled MSO is ready for immediate deployment and includes u-bolt hardware for mounting to a pole, mast, or pipe. The air temperature, humidity, and barometric pressure sensors are housed in a solar radiation shield positioned below the mechanical wind direction and speed sensor.

• Unit ships fully assembled and ready to deploy right out of the box, complete with 50 ft of cable.
• Based on proven Met One MET sensor line.
• Readings can be output in both English or Metric units.
• Standard outputs include RS-232 and SDI-12, optional RS-485 or RS-422 outputs are available upon request.
