Flexibility
The Vaisala WXT530 seriesĀ of weather instruments observe six of the most important weather parameters, which are air pressure, temperature, humidity, rainfall, wind speed and direction through various combinations. Select the transmitter with the needed parameter(s) for specific weather applications, with a large variety of digital communication modes and wide range of voltages. There is a heated option available to keep sensors clear of snow and ice. Low power consumption enables solar panel applications. The Vaisala WXT530 Series focuses on maintenance-free operations in a cost-effective manner. The Vaisala WXT535 Multi-Parameter Weather Sensor simultaneously measures air temperature, humidity, pressure and rainfall in a compact platform with optional heating.
Integration
The series offers analog input options for additional third party analog sensors. With the help of the built in analog to digital converters, the Weather Transmitter WXT530 turns into a small, cost effective weather parameter hub. Additional parameters include the solar radiation and external temperature sensor. The analog mA output option for wind speed and direction enables a wide variety of industrial applications. The WXT530 exceeds IEC60945 maritime standards.
Solid Performance
Ultrasonic Vaisala WINDCAP Sensors are applied to determine horizontal wind speed and direction. Barometric pressure, temperature, and humidity measurements are combined in the PTU module using capacitive measurement for each parameter. The module is easy to change without making contact with the sensors. The precipitation measurement is based on the unique acoustic Vaisala RAINCAP Sensor without flooding, clogging, wetting, and evaporation losses.

Using Data Buoys to Track Sharks in Cape Cod
Despite the bad rap sharks often get in the media, they are incredibly important to marine ecosystems. Still, sharks residing in coastal, high-traffic areas can pose a risk to public safety—as a result, shark tracking and monitoring projects are often conducted in these waters. 
 
Regardless of the bad press, biologists like Gregory Skomal, a Senior Fisheries Scientist with the MA Division of Marine Fisheries, have always been interested in learning more about shark behavior for the sake of informing conservation efforts. 
 
“I was passionate about sharks as a child. I wanted to be a marine biologist, and pursued it through my education and ended up where I am today,” recalls Skomal.
