• Ultrasonic measurement of apparent and theoretical wind speed and direction
• Barometric pressure
• Air and wind chill temperature
• GPS position speed over ground course over ground
• Three-axis solid-state compass with dynamic stabilization
• Three-axis rate gyro supplies rate-of -;turn data
• Three-axis accelerometer for best-in-class pitch and roll information
• Housing rated IPX7 for water-ingress protection
• Data output via a single cable (various lengths available)
  • NMEA 0183/ASCII serial data protocol over RS-232 interface
  • NMEA 2000 protocol over CAN

Reliable monitoring systems such as buoys USVs and AUVs enable operational decision-making based on real-time site-specific data rather than intuition. The highly changeable conditions at sea make offshore operations particularly challenging. Airmar has worked with many autonomous vehicle and buoy OEMs to develop the WeatherStation model 200WX-IPX7 that meets the operational challenges of this extremely harsh environment.

The low-power requirement of this model make it well suited for battery and solar powered applications. And the IPX7 housing is designed for this harsh and demanding environment.
