USonic-3 Cage MP/uSonic-3 Class A MP is a new generation high-performance ultrasonic anemometer for measuring atmospheric turbulence. The uSonic-3 series sensors launched by METEK have three ultrasonic receivers corresponding to each ultrasonic transmitter, which can select the data group with the best measurement position from multiple sets of data for horizontal wind speed calculation; Direct measurement of vertical wind speed component; The built-in two-dimensional tilt sensor (optional) can achieve remote instrument installation position calibration.
Under any sampling frequency condition, 9 sets of radial data, 9 temperature data, and the raw or average values of x, y, z wind speed data can be output.
