Installation
For the installation choose a well-exposed spot for the anemometer. The WMO (World Meteorological Or-
ganization) suggests that the sensor should be assembled 10 m off the ground; in a place where the dis-
tance between the anemometer and surrounding obstacles which might disturb the measurements is at
least 10 times the height of those objects from the ground. As such a position is difficult to find, the WMO
suggests that the sensor should be assembled in a spot which is reasonably uninfluenced by local obstruc-
tions.
