Kestrel 2000 Wind Meter

Product Information

There are also digital anemometers that tend to be more accurate than analog ones. They usually come with a certificate of calibration which means that you can be sure that the readings are correct. However, they do cost a bit more money so if you don’t need the extra accuracy then an analog anemometer should suffice. It isn’t just how fast the wind is blowing that determines the severity of a storm, but also the direction it’s blowing in. For sailors, this is vital information when determining how safely to take to the waters, or whether to even make an excursion at all. And for land-lubbers, strong winds can still be dangerous, creating high wind barriers, treacherous walking conditions, weather conditions and flash flooding. The Kestrel 2000 wind meter can easily be switched between mph, km/h, ft/min, m/s, knots and Beaufort Scale.

Price: Handheld anemometers are typically more affordable than their larger counterparts, making them a great option for those on a budget. Hold it in your hands, go ahead and press the Cal button. Now release...Voila! You are all set to start measuring wind speed. Look for an anemometer that offers a wide range of measurement types. This will give you more flexibility in terms of what you can use the device for.

Kestrel Basic (1000-3500) Instruction Manuals

For nearly 20 years on the portable weather meter market, the Kestrel 1000 is still one of the most reliable handheld weather meters. The Kestrel Meter 1000 features Thanks to the patented external temperature sensor and waterproof construction, the Kestrel 2000 weather meter can take accurate water and snow temperature readings, and since it is isolated from the case, you can be sure that the temperature reading is accurate and not influenced by your hand warming the unit. It should be noted, however, that kestrels do not use buffer strips or similar habitats directly but prefer to hunt over recently mown grassland adjacent to buffer strips where they can more easily catch mammals moving from the longer grass ( Aschwanden et al. 2005; Garratt et al. 2011). Therefore, landowners (and agri-environment schemes) should aim to provide a mosaic which includes areas of recently cut grass adjacent to the mammal habitats.

Requires optional PC interface (USB or RS-232) or Bluetooth data transfer option and provided software. The Kestrel 3500NV portable weather station with Altitude and Barometric Pressure combines a full color display with the power of a complete weather lab in a single instrument. This portable weather meter offers a very bright display for easy viewing, is compatible with Kestrel's optional weather sensor kits, and includes alkaline batteries. F to 131° F | -10 °C to 55 °C Measurements may be taken beyond the limits of the operational temperature range of the display and batteries by maintaining the unit within the operational range and exposing it to the more extreme environment for the minimum time necessary to take reading. Handheld anemometers and weather stations are a great way to get a better idea of the overall weather trends. They're easily portable and accurate within +/-2% of actual readings. So what does this mean? If you wanted to know the temperature outside, and the handheld weather station said it was 35 degrees, and your thermometer said 36 degrees, you can be certain that it is somewhere between 34 and 37 degrees outside.As the spinnaker trimmer, you must be aggressive with body weight placement in the boat. As the boat wants to plane, move aft to get the bow to pop out, then move forward again to keep the transom out of the water and keep the boat on the plane longer. In lighter conditions be aggressive with side to side movements, keeping the boat flat.

Connectivity also includes a data cable. This would allow you to connect the handheld anemometer directly to your computer or another device for more accurate readings, as well as transferring of data. There’s a little “calibration” you need to do when using the wind meters. All the readings are right on with what you get from your professional instruments…. much better than many of the other weather stations you've experienced. The accuracy of typical handheld weather station, anemometers, and barometers vary by model. Some are +/-2% accurate while some can be within +/-1%. How you use them is also key. For more accurate wind readings, face directly into the wind for at least one minute while using a handheld weather station. Be aggressive- Be aggressive with main sail trim adjustments. In light air make sure you are eased for power and twist, but when the boat sails into a puff you can trim the main in to create height without loosing speed. In windier conditions, keep the boat flat by easing.

The Kestrel 2000 meter takes the minimum amount of data for farmers using Xtendimax and while it's not the best option before you spray, it is the least expensive and does cover the bare minimum requirements without the access to standard anemometer towers! Uses At present the link between potential factors and the population trend of Kestrel has not been established and new research is needed. In the meantime, landowners keen to offer suitable kestrel habitat should provide grassy cover for small mammals. Conservation policies can encourage the provision of suitable habitat at a landscape scale by enabling the take-up of agri-environment options such as buffer strips, uncultivated margins, conservation headlands and set-aside. Perceived temperature resulting from combined effect of wind speed and temperature. Calculated based on the NWS Wind Chill Temperature (WCT) Index, revised 2001, with wind speed adjusted by a factor of 1.5 to yield equivalent results to wind speed measured at 10 m above ground. Specification temperature limits established by WCT Tables. The next important factor to consider is the construction of a handheld anemometer. The more durable and well-constructed it is, the better chance you have of it lasting longer without any problems. Material is also important to look at, as you want a handheld anemometer that can withstand the weather and elements. Handheld anemometers are handy tools that can be used to measure wind speed. These devices are lightweight, easy to use, affordable, and come in many different styles. When choosing the best handheld anemometer, there are several factors that you must consider to ensure it is compatible with your needs and preferences. Accuracy
