Environmental Sensors for Wind Resource Assessment

Besides anemometers and wind vanes, Second Wind offers a variety of environmental sensors to measure site conditions. Many work with our Nomad 2 Wind Data Logger.

SWI Thermistor

Thermistor by Second WindThe SWI Thermistor is designed specificaly for use with the Nomad 2 wind data logger. It consists of a 10K type thermistor encased in an aluminum shaft, and comes pre-wired with 3.5 meters of sensor cable. The thermistor's resistance changes with temperature, following a known but non-linear curve. The Nomad 2 measures the resistance of the thermistor and uses a lookup table with over 4,096 values to determine the temperature. The sensor is wired to 2.5V excitation on the data logger's terminal strip, and will run on the 9V power being supplied to the logger.

Radiation Shield for Temperature Sensor and Thermistor

Radiation shield for temperature sensor and thermistorThis six-plate radiation shield minimizes error from gains due to direct sunlight. The shield can be mounted to a 1 to 2 inch diameter pipe with a U-bolt clamp or to a larger diameter tower with a hose clamp.

SETRA Barometric Pressure Transducer

SETRA Barometric Pressure TransducerSetra Systems has been a technology leader in environmental pressure measurement for over three decades. The Model 276 is an extremely accurate and stable transducer based on the proven SetraceramT sensing element. The glass fused ceramic capacitive sensing capsule is the heart of Setra's environmental pressure transducers because of its inherent thermal stability, low hysteresis and fundamentally simple design.

LiCor LI-200SZ Pyranometer Kit

LiCor PyranometerThe LiCor pyranometer is designed for field measurement of global solar radiation in agricultural, meteorological, and solar energy studies. In clear unobstructed daylight conditions the LiCor pyranometer compares favorably with first class thermopile type pyranometers but is priced at a fraction of the cost.
