150WXS WeatherStation® Instrument
Part Number150WXS
Compass with Solar-radiation Shield
Airmar’s WeatherStation 150WXS provides accurate, site-specific, weather data from a single compact device. It measures seven critical weather parameters in real-time. The compact housing features ultrasonic wind and barometric pressure measurements. Plus the solar radiation shield increases the accuracy and stability of temperature and relative humidity readings. The maintenance-free features of the 150WXS makes it perfect for remote mounting as a network of stationary sensors—an integral component of a comprehensive weather station.
- Ultrasonic measurement of apparent wind speed and direction
- Barometric pressure, air temperature, and relative humidity readings with calculated dew point, heat index, and wind chill
- Internal compass for wind speed data referenced to magnetic north
- GPS for time stamping and correcting for the variation between magnetic and true north
- Rugged, compact, UV stabilized housing with no moving parts
