Met Station One
Measurements
Wind Speed and Wind Direction
The Met Station One (MSO) uses a three cup anemometer and lightweight vane tail to
accurately measure the speed and direction of the wind. The rotation of the cups and
vane are converted to electrical signals which are directly proportional to Wind Speed
and Direction. The basic operation is based on the proven 014/024 Wind Sensors.
•Wind Speed Range 0 –50 m/sec
•Wind Speed Resolution 0.1 m/sec
•Wind Speed Accuracy ±2%
•Wind Direction Range 0 –360°
•Wind Direction Resolution 1°
•Wind Direction Accuracy ±5°
•Threshold, both Speed & Direction 1 m/sec
Temperature and Humidity
The Platinum Temperature and Capacitive Humidity sensors are built into the
temperature shield at the bottom of the sensor. The integral shield limits errors due
to solar radiation. The sensing elements are enclosed in an IP65 protective membrane.
•Temperature Range -40°C to +60°C
•Temperature Resolution 0.1°C
•Temperature Accuracy ±0.4°C
•Relative Humidity Range 0-100%
•Relative Humidity Resolution 1%
•Relative Humidity Accuracy ±4%
Barometric Pressure
A solid state pressure sensor provides an accurate measurement of barometric
pressure changes over a wide range. Electronic temperature compensation is included
for highest accuracy over the operating temperature of the sensor.
•Measurement Range 500 –1100 mbars
•Measurement Resolution 0.1 mbar
•Measurement Accuracy ±2 mbars
External Rain Gauge Input
An external contact closure rain gauge such as the Met One 360 or 370 series can be
connected to the MSO; the measurement is then integrated into the MSO serial data.
•Rain Gauge Resolution 0.25mm or 0.01 in of rain per tip
