How Will You Use Your Weather Station?

The Wind Researcher

The Story

She's a researcher overseeing graduate students who are studying wind energy. Her team needed wind data from several sites to see how wind moves through the campus. She started with the Vantage Pro2 on the roof of the biology building, and then added two Vantage Vue integrated sensor suites about 800 feet (243.84 m) apart, along with a long-range repeater. Her colleagues were interested in not only the wind data, but the temperature and humidity data as well. When her team decided three anemometers were not quite enough, they asked for more. But with three different consoles reporting the data, it was already a time-consuming process to compile the data into one useful database. Enter our Envoy8X, which allowed her to install five more Davis anemometers with Anemometer/Sensor Transmitter Kits. Using long-range repeaters, all eight stations are logged by one Envoy8X. One database with data from all the anemometers plus the additional sensor data from the three integrated sensor suites is just what her team needed.
