The Wind Monitors are light-weight instruments that measure wind speed and direction. Manufactured by RM Young, the Wind Monitors are cabled for use with our data loggers. The Wind Monitors' design emphasizes simplicity and lightweight construction. They are made out of rigid UV-stabilized thermoplastic with stainless steel and anodized aluminium fittings. The thermoplastic material resists corrosion from sea air environments and atmospheric pollutants. The Wind Monitors use stainless steel precision-grade ball bearings for the propeller shaft and vertical shaft bearings.

The 05305 Wind Monitor-AQ is a high performance wind speed and direction sensor designed specifically for air quality measurements. It provides a lower starting threshold, faster response, and higher accuracy than the other wind monitors. However, to achieve the superior performance, the 05305 is less ruggedly constructed. The Wind Monitor-AQ meets or exceeds the requirements published by the following regulatory agencies: U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Agency, and American Nuclear Society.
