WMT700
WINDCAP® ultrasonic wind sensor for professional use
A robust ultrasonic anemometer for surface wind measurement, one of the key parameters in meteorology and aviation. It measures speed and direction from ultrasound transit time across three measurement paths at 60°, with no moving parts and no periodic maintenance. It meets the WMO-No. 8 guide and ICAO requirements, with four models covering ranges up to 90 m/s and heating up to 250 W for icing climates.
