MeteoWind-Compact2 anemometer

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 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

    • New solid-state sensor technology to measure wind speed (replaces reed switch)

    • Redesign of its aerodynamic body to enhance linearity and accuracy beyond the most stringent MEASNET/WMO/EPA requirements.

  • More robust mounting bracket and more user-friendly mounting

  • Enhanced MTBF (Mean Time Between Failures) is 987,090 hours (112 years) per MIL-SPEC: MIL-HDBK-217 F Notice 2 Parts Count section ANSI/VITA 51.1-2013 (R2018)

  • Enhanced winter operation for wireless weather stations that do not have enough power to heat wind sensors

  • ICAO approved for all-weather airport use

BARANI DESIGN Technologies and Comptus Inc. of USA strategic partnership announced.

BARANI DESIGN Technologies and Comptus Inc. of USA strategic partnership announced.

BARANI DESIGN Technologies of Slovakia will create a strategic partnership with Comptus Inc. of USA, who is one of the only two producers of the most widely used anemometer for wind energy applications worldwide. The immediate benefits of this partnership will include:

In a technology sharing program, both companies will join forces to develop a low-cost wireless precision wind measurement solution to complement the MeteoHelix® IoT Pro wireless weather stations and to directly compete in the high-end and middle market segments in agricultural weather station applications. The MeteoHelix® and MeteoWind® Compact combination will become the only affordably priced weather station solution to meet the Wold Meteorological Organization (WMO) measurement standards. This meteorological sensor solution is aimed at putting precision back into precision agriculture which is currently being dominated by measurement equipment not conforming to worldwide measurement standards.
