Wind Direction Transmitter

Wind Direction Transmitters are devices used in meteorology to measure and transmit information about the direction of the wind. They are classified under the supply class "Meteorological Instruments And Apparatus" in the supply group "Instruments And Laboratory Equipment."

These transmitters typically consist of a wind vane, which is a device that rotates with the wind, and a sensor that detects the direction of the wind based on the position of the wind vane. The sensor then converts this information into an electrical signal, which is transmitted to a data logger or a weather station for further analysis and recording.

Wind Direction Transmitters are commonly used in weather monitoring stations, airports, and other locations where accurate wind direction information is required. They play a crucial role in weather forecasting, aviation operations, and environmental monitoring.

Some advanced wind direction transmitters may also include additional features such as built-in heaters to prevent ice buildup, lightning protection, and wireless communication capabilities for remote data transmission.

Overall, Wind Direction Transmitters are essential instruments in meteorology, providing valuable data for weather analysis, research, and various applications in different industries.
