Davis 6415 Sonic Anemometer
The Sonic Anemometer is designed to measure wind‐related conditions without moving parts. Pairs of electro‐acoustic transducers in the anemometer send sonic pulses back and forth, and measure the time it takes for the pulse to travel from one to the other. This time is affected by the movement of the air, which allows the anemometer to calculate wind speed and direction, calibrated by temperature measurements. The sonic anemometer has its own solar panel, so requires no external power.
