Ultrasonic 2D THIES
The Ultrasonic 2D THIES is designed to acquire the horizontal components of wind velocity and wind direction as well as the virtual temperature.
Due to the high measuring rate, the instrument is ideal for the inertia free measurement of gusts and peak values.
The accuracy of the air temperature measurement (virtual temperature) surpasses that one of the classic method where the temperature transmitter is used in a weather and thermal radiation shield.
The measured data are available as analogue signals or as a data telegram via a serial interface.
The sensors as well as the instrument body are automatically heated, in case of critical ambient temperatures. Thus, the function is guaranteed even in case of snowfall or freezing rain, and the risk of icing is extensively avoided.
