WindObserver 65
Robust Ultrasonic Wind Sensors for Challenging Environments
The Gill WindObserver 65 is a precision solid-state ultrasonic anemometer designed to provide accurate wind speed and direction measurements through digital output. Its rugged IP66-rated stainless-steel housing offers excellent durability, particularly in harsh and saltwater environments. An optional de-icing system enables reliable operation in extreme conditions, making the WindObserver 65 well suited for aviation, marine, offshore, and high-altitude applications.
