Attention:

The Wind Sensor (Anemometer) is part of the Weather Station.

Summary

Two anemometers are attached to the main mast of the vessel. Taking in account ship speed and course over ground as well as heading, true wind speed and wind direction can be calculated. For further analysis only the data of the windward anemometer are used.
