Types and principles of wind direction sensors
A wind direction sensor is a device used to measure the direction of the wind. They are commonly used in weather stations, wind turbines and other applications that require accurate measurements of wind power. These sensors are crucial in predicting weather patterns and helping us understand the effects of wind on the environment. Types of wind direction sensors There are several ...

The origin and type of wind speed sensor
backgroundAn anemometer is an instrument used to measure wind speed and direction. It is a critical tool for meteorologists, engineers, and researchers who need to gather information about atmospheric conditions. Anemometers come in various types, but they all work based on the same principle of detecting the wind's pressure and translating it into a measurable quantity. In this article, we will ...

Field Evaluation of a Method for Estimating Gaseous Fluxes from Area Sources Using Open-Path Fourier Transform Infrared
This paper describes results from the first field experiment designed to evaluate a new approach for quantifying gaseous fugitive emissions of area air pollution sources. The approach combines path-integrated concentration data acquired with any path-integrated optical remote sensing (PI-ORS) technique and computed tomography (CT) technique. In this study, an open-path Fourier transform infrared ...

Introduction to ultrasonic wind speed and direction sensors
Introduction of Works: Ultrasonic wind speed and direction sensors are devices used to measure wind speed and direction in a variety of applications, from weather forecasting to wind power generation. Unlike conventional wind sensors, which rely on moving mechanical parts, ultrasonic sensors use sound waves to detect wind speed and direction. This makes them more accurate, reliable and durable ...

Environmental monitoring on mining sites - Case Study
Environmental monitoring on mining sites Mining generates dust and noise pollutions that impact health and environment. As we become more cognizant of the impact mining dust has on air quality, public protection agencies have passed regulations to decrease the impact mining may have on human health and the surrounding communities. Worker safety has long been at stake as well, and new ...

Reduction of roof rack noise and vibration
The noise and vibration design of automotive add-on component roof rack was investigated. Different modification options were evaluated which include mounting location alteration, mounting damping change and material revision. Results from experimental modal analysis and sound pressure spectrum measurement in a wind tunnel indicate the direction of design modification for reduction of the roof ...

Weather Station at Kårstø Harbour, Norway - Case Study
A standard Aanderaa Weather Station(WS) is installed on an island close to the port on an existing mast structure. Here wind speed and wind gust in addition to wind direction is measured. An Aanderaa RDCP 600 Sea Current Profiler is installed on the sea bottom at 27 meter depth. This unit is configured to measure sea current speed and direction at the sea surface and at 6 meter depth. An ...

Wind energy in Norway - Icing of wind sensors? Not with the ultrasonic wind sensor VENTUS! - Case Study
Renewable energy in Norway is getting more and more important! The government has spent the goal that the use of renewable energy should increase strongly over the next years. Wind power plays a major role in this endeavor. Norway is climatically and topographically one of the most interesting locations for wind energy in Europe - but it is barely tapped by now. Our customer, the power company ...

Case study - Weather data for nautical information system
In Lemwerder, Germany at the Weser River, wind direction and speed are measured and transferred in 60 second intervals via the OTT netDL 1000. The data is transmitted, wireless, over a distance of 600 meters to the radar tower in Ritzenbuettel, where it is integrated into the ship traffic network - the Authority for Water and Navigation (WSA), Bremen. The WSA is also responsible for monitoring ...
