The compass point and polarity of U and V if the wind components along the U and V
axis are blowing in the direction of the respective arrows.
MaxiMet can output the following wind readings depending on use of a Compass or GPS.
o
Relative wind
– wind speed and/or direction, uncorrected, but relative to the north
marker, which may not be facing North.
o
Corrected wind
– with the aid of the Compass Magnetic North corrected wind
direction can be output.
o
True wind
– wind speed and/or direction information corrected by GPS for any
direction misalignment of the north marker and/or for any motion of the station.
(E.g. vehicle or vessel).
A Met Spec Multi-Plate Radiation Shield is used. The special shield plate geometry, with
its double louvre design, provides excellent response time performance of quick ambient
temperature changes while still working effectively as a baffle to stop larger contaminants
such as salt or dirt from reaching the temperature and humidity sensor. The shield
benefits from very robust material choice and extremely high UV protection requiring no
maintenance.
