The 200WX WeatherStation Instrument from AIRMAR Technology Corporation is designed to provide accurate and real-time weather data for maritime and mobile operations.
200WX WeatherStation® Instrument from AIRMAR Technology Corporation.
In ocean science and maritime applications, precise meteorological measurements are essential for safety, efficiency, and mission success. Whether deployed on commercial ships, research vessels, survey platforms, or military craft, the 200WX delivers comprehensive weather-monitoring capabilities in a compact, rugged package.
The 200WX stands out as an optimal solution for mobile weather-monitoring applications. Housed in a durable, sensor-rich unit with an IPX6 rating for water-ingress protection, it is built to withstand harsh conditions on moving platforms such as military vehicles, TV-news trucks, and marine vessels. Its ability to provide real-time, dynamic true wind and weather data, including ultrasonic measurement of apparent and dynamic true wind speed and direction, makes it indispensable for applications where environmental awareness is mission-critical.
One of the key advantages of the 200WX is its capability to calculate dynamic true wind speed and direction. Unlike standard anemometers that measure only apparent wind—the wind felt relative to movement—the 200WX integrates multiple data sources for precise calculations. It utilizes apparent wind data along with vehicle speed and heading to determine true wind conditions. This is made possible through its internal 10 Hz GPS and three-axis electronic compass, which provide continuous updates on heading, position, speed-over-ground, and course-over-ground. Additionally, it offers barometric pressure monitoring, air and wind chill temperature readings, and relative humidity (as a field-serviceable option), with calculated dew point and heat index for comprehensive weather insights.
Further enhancing its performance, the 200WX features a three-axis rate gyro that provides dynamic stabilization for the onboard 3D compass. This ensures accurate rate-of-turn data, even in challenging environments. Its three-axis accelerometer supplies best-in-class pitch and roll information, improving the precision of motion-related data. AIRMAR’s patented technology allows the 200WX to maintain compass precision in hilly and mountainous terrain, making it especially valuable for military and other high-mobility applications where stability and accuracy are paramount.
With its advanced weather-monitoring capabilities, robust design, and dynamic data processing, the AIRMAR 200WX WeatherStation Instrument is a powerful tool for professionals who rely on accurate environmental insights in real-time. The unit supports data output via a single cable of various lengths, utilizing NMEA 0183/ASCII serial data protocol over an RS-232 interface and NMEA 2000 protocol over CAN, ensuring seamless integration with existing systems. Whether on land or at sea, it delivers the reliable weather intelligence needed to enhance operational effectiveness and decision-making in demanding conditions.
