Airmar 200WX WeatherStation

Airmar 200WX WeatherStation

The Airmar WeatherStation 200WX is a highly-portable weather monitor designed for mobile applications. Sensor-Rich in a durable, rugged, small IPX6-rated housing. The 200WX can be used on moving platforms such as TV-news, military vehicles, and vehicle-mounted air and gas measurement systems. Equipped with built-in true north and GPS. May be used with Aeroqual Dust Sentry, AQS 1, and AQM ambient air monitoring systems.

The Airmar WeatherStation 200WX is a highly-portable weather monitor designed for mobile applications. Sensor-Rich in a durable, rugged, small IPX6-rated housing. The 200WX can be used on moving platforms such as TV-news, military vehicles, and vehicle-mounted air and gas measurement systems. Equipped with built-in wind speed, wind direction, compass and GPS.

Knowing the dynamic true wind speed and direction is important and often mission-critical. The 200WX calculates the dynamic true wind speed and direction based on the apparent wind, speed of the vehicle, and vehicle heading. Its internal 10 Hz GPS and three-axis electronic compass provide heading, position, speed-over-ground, and course-over-ground functionality that is necessary for dynamic true wind data processing on a moving vehicle.

The 3D compass with dynamic stabilization provided by the three-axis rate gyro enhances the rate-of-turn data. The 200WX maintains dynamic compass performance in hilly and mountainous terrain – common in testing situations.
