Kestrel 2000 Wind Meter

Product Information

Height above Mean Sea Level ("MSL"). Temperature compensated pressure (barometric) altimeter requires accurate reference barometric pressure to produce maximum absolute accuracy. Both accuracy specs corresponds to a reference pressure anywhere from 850 to 1100 mBar. So, when looking for a handheld anemometer, make sure to consider its various connectivity features and see if they meet your needs. Durability and Warranty

Polymer capacitive humidity sensor mounted in thin-walled chamber external to case for rapid, accurate response (US Patent 6,257,074). To achieve stated accuracy, unit must be permitted to equilibrate to external temperature when exposed to large, rapid temperature changes and be kept out of direct sunlight. Calibration drift +/- 2% over 24 months. Humidity sensor may be recalibrated at factory or in field using Kestrel Humidity Calibration Kit (NK PN-0802). During gybes, leave the pole alone and focus on keeping the spinnaker full through the gybe. Once the boom comes over, hand off the sheets to the skipper and switch the pole. The HWH1002 gives accurate wind data to within +/-2% of actual reading, while the HWH1003 Weather Station also includes a thermometer and hygrometer.Pay attention to the top batten position. If the sail is too open (twisted) pull vang on to get the top batten 90 degrees to the wind direction. Digital anemometers usually have a small wind vane and sensor that is plugged into your smartphone or laptop. These are very accurate and can measure wind speeds as low as 0.01 mph. However, these devices can be quite expensive, especially if you need to buy the corresponding app or software. Hike in a position that is comfortable for you. Hiking hard is fast and means that you do not have to de-power the boat as much, but if you are getting tired a few seconds after hiking hard, you will tend to move around too much disturbing the boats balance. Hike in a position that you can stay in for a few minutes. The accuracy of typical handheld weather station, anemometers, and barometers vary by model. Some are +/-2% accurate while some can be within +/-1%. How you use them is also key. For more accurate wind readings, face directly into the wind for at least one minute while using a handheld weather station. If the wind stops, it will take around one minute for the propeller to spin fast enough again so that you can get a result even with smaller winds (i.e., 0-11 mph).

The Kestrel 2000 wind meter can easily be switched between mph, km/h, ft/min, m/s, knots and Beaufort Scale. The Kestrel 2000 hand-held weather station makes it easy to know exactly how cold the water will be before you hit the surf, saving you time and money! Handheld wind speed weather station meters and handheld weather stations measure the velocity, force, or speed of wind. Different handheld wind meters use different methods to calculate the measured values. Another thing to consider is the features of a handheld anemometer. This includes both standard and special features that you might need for your application. Some handheld anemometers include the following: The Kestrel 3500 NV portable weather stations are top-of-the-line, 4-in-1 instruments that provide you with accurate, reliable data for a wide range of weather-related tasks. They measure and display current atmospheric conditions as well as the trend arrow, making it easy to monitor pressure, temperature, humidity changes, and time. These portable weather stations also calculate altitude from internal software and display trends in barometric pressure over time.Temperature that a volume of air must be cooled to at constant pressure for the water vapor present to condense into dew and form on a solid surface. Can also be considered to be the water-to-air saturation temperature.
