Research Project Using Scarlet Wireless Anemometers
Scarlet WL-21 Wind Speed & Direction Data Logger (the upgraded version of previous WL-11 model) was used for a research project for the Department of Anthropology & Archaeology of University of Calgary, a top-ranked university in Canada.
The research was conducted at one of the forest in Costa Rica and aim to assess the impact of canopy height on wind speed and ultimately to the biological processes. “Wind speed has important implications for tons of biological processes, including seed dispersal and the movement of volatile chemicals, like pheromones and fruit odors, through the environment”, said Allegra DePasquale, a PhD student at the university who is leading the research.
To test the effect of wind speed at different heights, they established a 10-meter-high poles at two different locations in the forest. The anemometers were then installed at different heights of 0.5m, 3.5m, 5.5m, 7.5m, and 10m.
“I have been going through the data and am pleased with the results”, Allegra stated. Scarlet wireless anemometer series offers accurate wind measurement for a wide range of applications from research/industrial project, constructions, marine, agriculture, and many more.
