ATMOS 22
The ATMOS 22 Ultrasonic Anemometer is designed for continuous monitoring of wind speed and direction. A robust, no moving parts design that prevents errors because of wear or fouling make the ATMOS 22 ideal for long-term, remote installations.
Applications of the ATMOS 22 are listed below:
• Weather monitoring
• Microenvironment monitoring
• In-canopy wind measurement
• Spatially-distributed environmental monitoring
• Wind profiling • Crop weather monitoring
• Weather networks
Additional advantages include its low-power design that supports battery-operated data loggers, and the SDI-12 three-wire interface. A tilt sensor warns the user of out-of-level condition, and no configurations are necessary. Prior to use, verify all ATMOS 22 system components are included and appear in good condition
