Wireless Anemometer Pack

Data Harvest's Wireless Anemometer Pack gives students the tools to investigate air movement and its wider environmental impact. Whether tracking gusts in an outdoor setting or comparing wind speed over time, this sensor offers a practical route into understanding atmospheric conditions. Featuring a durable œcup design tested in rugged environments, the anemometer measures momentary, average, and maximum wind speeds with high accuracy. The sensor seamlessly integrates with EasySense software and other Data Harvest equipment, offering a scalable solution for full weather station setups. Its compatibility with the optional Wireless Rain Gauge and Humidity Sensor allows for interdisciplinary exploration of weather systems, pressure, and temperature. With quick connectivity via Bluetooth or USB and long battery life, the sensor supports ongoing investigations both in and out of the classroom. Designed for hands-on learning, this tool helps students examine wind-related energy, environmental monitoring, and real-world meteorology through data-driven exploration.
