About Wind Speed and Wind Direction Sensors

Wind vanes measure wind direction and are often used with anemometers, which measure wind speed. Campbell Scientific offers a variety of anemometer designs: cup, propeller, ultrasonic, sonic, and lidar. Most of our wind sensors are modified slightly from the manufacturers’ stock items so that they may be used with our data loggers in research, air quality, and general purpose meteorological applications.
