MeteoWind Compact and MeteoWind IoT Pro ICE-FREE update

MeteoWind Compact2 anemometer update at the Meteorological Technology world Expo 2024.

Introducing the 2025 update of the MeteoWind Compact—now on sale! This highly anticipated upgrade to one of the meteorological industry's most reliable and accurate anemometers features a sleek, more aerodynamic body and a new black ICE-FREE wind vane makes for easy differentiation. While it retains full interchangeability with its predecessor, its name now includes a squared symbol, distinguishing it as the next generation of excellence.

New for 2025

MeteoWind Compact²

• New black wind vane made of stainless steel reinforced plastic

  • Improved wind vane response and damping

    • Wind vane Delay distance < 1.0 m (acc. to ASTM D 536696)

    • Wind vane Damping ratio D = 0.31 (acc. to ASTM D 536696)

    • Wind vane Starting threshold <0.1 m/s at 90° amplitude (acc. to VDI 3786 Part 2)

  • Enhanced ICE-FREE winter operation even without heating. - a heated version of MeteoWind Compact² will be available in early 2025

• Solid-state wind speed sensor with enhanced vibration resistance and reliability

Set-and-Forget Rain Gauge

Wireless MeteoRain IoT Compact is based on the MeteoRain 200 Compact rain gauge and offers users the freedom to collect rain measurements without having to install weather stations.

Measurement consistency, compact size, and its ability to measure even when not wholly level make the MeteoRain 200 Compact rain gauge a favorite for watershed monitoring, agriculture, and smart-city installations. Also available in a wireless version, this compact rain gauge not only features a standardized 200 cm2 measuring orifice area to WMO standards but does this in a very compact package whose installation is limited to just four screws.

Featuring a self-balancing, highly vibration-resistant measuring mechanism, it can provide consistent data quality for years on end. Additionally, long-term maintenance-free operation requires only a single re-calibration within 6-12 months of installation to account for soiling, after which it can operate with minimal measurement uncertainty for years.

This August in Chicago, BARANI DESIGN Technologies will be exhibiting and looking for B2B partnerships for the USA, Canada, and Mexico markets at the Meteorological Technology World Expo North America. This B2B expo will be at the Stephens Convention Center in Chicago on August 31 and September 1, 2022.

MeteoAG Leaf Wetness Sensor for Agricultural Applications

MeteoAG leaf wetness sensor provides high reliability data on leaf wetness and surface air temperature to predict frost damage to crops.

While the BARANI DESIGN Technologies wireless agricultural weather stations are seeing record installations in 2020, we have been hard at work to finalize the latest addition to our modular agricultural weather station sensor set.

Along side soil water tension sensors, soil water content sensors and soil temperature sensors, the MeteoAG wireless agricultural node will also provide critical leaf wetness data along with near surface air temperature data essential to monitoring late autumn and spring frost events.

The final testing phase of MeteoAG has started and will continue throughout December and over the Christmas holidays in preparation for the start of the 2021 farming season.
