Anemometers and wind sensors are used extensively in marine applications for the determining of wind conditions. Typical applications include:
- Data Buoys
- Ship Dynamic Positioning Systems
- Helideck Monitoring
In such applications it is important to select a marine anemometer that can survive continuous exposure to a salt-water environment, and withstand the harsh weather conditions often encountered offshore.
In ship applications it is also important to select a marine anemometer with compatible NMEA 0183 output for simple integration with the ship systems for use in marine environments. WindObserver also carries Lloyd's register type approval.
