Land-based, Mobile, Standalone
The WeatherStation 200WX is the best choice for mobile, land-based,
weather-monitoring applications. Sensor rich, in a durable, rugged, small
housing that is IPX6 rated, means the 200WX can be used on moving platforms such
as TV-news and military vehicles.
Knowing the theoretical wind speed and direction is important and often
mission-critical. The 200WX is able to calculate the theoretical wind speed and
direction based upon the apparent wind (the wind you would feel on your hand if
you held it out while moving), speed of the vehicle, and vehicle heading. Its
internal 10 Hz GPS and three-axis electronic compass provide heading, position,
speed-over-ground, and course-over-ground functionality that is necessary for
theoretical wind-data processing on a moving vehicle.
The 3D compass with dynamic stabilization provided by the three-axis rate gyro
enhances the rate-of-turn data. The model 200WX maintains dynamic compass
performance in hilly and mountainous terrain—common in military situations.
