Overview
The YOUNG Model 86000 2D ultrasonic anemometer offers high performance and low power consumption in a compact size. It is ideal for the most demanding wind sensing applications.
Design
The sensor features durable, corrosion-resistant construction with sensitive ultrasonic transducers secured in a streamlined molded frame. The 86000 is fully wind tunnel tested and calibrated to provide accurate wind measurement over a wide operating range.
Outputs
The standard sensor includes many useful output options. Analog voltage outputs are provided for wind speed and wind direction. 4-20 mA current signals are available for each channel and are well suited for long cable runs or for industrial settings where noise immunity is important. A variety of serial output formats are also available. These include ASCII text, RMYT (compatible with YOUNG displays), NMEA and SDI-12 formats.
Deployment
The sensor installs on readily available 1 inch (IPS) pipe. Wiring connections are made in a convenient weatherproof junction box; special mounting adapters, connectors and cables are not required.

Village Green Project builds air quality awareness with monitoring park bench
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency is on a mission to make air quality monitoring cheaper, easier and more accessible through the implementation of innovative new monitoring stations. The Village Green Project is a new initiative from the EPA that seeks to increase the scope of air quality monitoring by seamlessly incorporating monitoring devices into community settings. Led by Gayle Hagler, an environmental engineer at the EPA Office of Research and Development, an EPA design team has constructed a prototype that combines the ability to monitor ozone and fine particulate matter as well as wind speed, wind direction, temperature and humidity all into the functional design of a park bench.

RM Young 81000 Ultrasonic Anemometer: Fast response, high resolution for 3D wind data
The RM Young 81000 Ultrasonic Anemometer is a high-quality 3-axis wind sensor with no moving parts. It is perfectly suited for applications requiring fast response, high resolution and three dimensional wind measurements. With no moving parts, the sensor is less susceptible to damage from field deployment and is a good choice over the long term. The “81000 uses ultrasonic sound waves to measure wind velocity,” said Andy Oliver, product manager at the RM Young Company. The sensor measures wind speed based on the time of flight of sonic pulses between pairs of transducers. The 81000 also measures the speed of sound, an intriguing parameter of its own. “The speed of sound varies depending on the temperature of the air through which the sound moves,” said Oliver.

UNC's industry-standard water quality profiling platforms get upgrade
The University of North Carolina Institute Of Marine Sciences has a history with profiling platforms. UNC engineers and scientists have been building the research floaters for 10 years in a lab run by in Rick Luettich, director of the institute. UNC scientists and engineers developed their own autonomous vertical profilers to take water quality readings throughout the water column. They have three profilers placed in the New and Neuse rivers. The profilers are designed to drop a payload of sensors to an allotted depth at set time intervals. Instruments attached take readings continuously on the way down and up. Data collected by the profilers has been used to study water related issues such as infectious disease and sediment suspension.
