Digital 4-in-1 Anemometer — Wind Speed, Temperature, Humidity & Barometric Pressure
Four atmospheric variables captured simultaneously — the same parameters that drive every weather model from local forecasts to global climate simulations.
Wind speed measurement in this device uses a three-cup anemometer whose rotation rate (angular velocity) is linearly proportional to wind speed via Magnus-effect aerodynamics — a relationship Lord Kelvin quantified in the 1860s. The capacitive humidity sensor exploits the change in dielectric constant of a polymer film as water molecules adsorb, while the MEMS barometric sensor measures atmospheric pressure via piezoresistive strain in a microfabricated silicon diaphragm. Together these four channels provide the data for Beaufort-scale assessment, siting renewable energy systems, or full atmospheric soundings.
