What is wind speed?

Wind speed is an important weather parameter to monitor and record for many applications including meteorology, aviation, shipping, industry, construction. Some of the more common applications are for predicting and supporting weather forecasts, determining the safety of operating mechanical equipment like cranes and lifts in industry, estimating the efficiency of operating power generating wind farms, navigation and safe operation in the shipping industry, aircraft safety, wastewater and landfill odor control, and others.

Wind Speed is caused by air pressure gradients or the regions between weather fronts, air moves in the direction of the low pressure system. The steeper the gradient the stronger the wind. Additionally, wind speed is determined by many other factors including the Coriolis effect, friction, and land topography. Wind speed is typically reported in meters per second or miles per hour in the United States. For the shipping or boating industry wind speed can be reported in knots (a knot equal to one nautical mile per hour or approximately 1.15 miles per hour or approximately 0.5 meters per second).

SIMEX SWP-99 Multichannel Display With Graphic LCD Display

he SWP-99X meter is intended for measuring and presentation of current values from max. 8 measuring channels in 0/4-20 mA, 0/1-5 V, 0/2-10 V standard. Each channel can be individually designated (described) with any measuring unit. The LCD graphical display allows for visualization of the values from all 8 channels simultaneously. A significant advantage is possibility of viewing the trends in each measuring channel as the graphs from the last 12 seconds to 8 hours. The SWP-99X is equipped with electronic relay outputs that can be used to control external devices. There are icons on the screen signalling the status of the outputs. The meter can be configured with the local keyboard or free S-Toolkit software via the RS-485 or USB-PC communication port.
