Wind Direction Set

Wind Direction Sets are instruments used in meteorology to measure and indicate the direction from which the wind is blowing. They are typically part of a larger weather station or meteorological system.

These sets usually consist of a wind vane, which is a device that rotates freely on a vertical axis and points into the wind. The wind vane is often mounted on a pole or tower to ensure accurate readings. The wind direction is indicated by the orientation of the wind vane, which is typically marked with cardinal directions (north, south, east, west) or degrees.

In addition to the wind vane, some wind direction sets may also include a wind speed sensor or anemometer, which measures the speed of the wind. This allows for a more comprehensive understanding of the wind conditions.

Wind direction sets are commonly used in various applications, including weather forecasting, aviation, agriculture, and environmental monitoring. They provide valuable information for understanding weather patterns, predicting wind behavior, and assessing potential impacts on various activities and industries.

In the supply group Instruments And Laboratory Equipment, wind direction sets can be found under the supply class Meteorological Instruments And Apparatus. These sets may be available from various manufacturers and suppliers specializing in meteorological equipment.
