Wireless Weather Sensor with GPS

Use the sensor in logging mode with the Weather Vane Accessory for long-term monitoring, or use it as a handheld instrument to study microclimates and record ambient conditions relevant to environmental phenomena. You can even transmit data wirelessly to your device for classroom analysis when group activities are constrained by time. With the built-in GPS, you can also collect location data for student investigations and analyze it on the map display.

Features

• Logging mode for long-term experiments
• Water resistant for extended environmental monitoring
• Built-in light sensor for measuring light level and UV index
• Special map display (in SPARKvue software) for analyzing spatial data
• 19 different measurements that can be collected and analyzed individually or simultaneously

Applications

• Conduct weather sensor experiments by collecting multiple days of weather data
• Study wind and pressure changes as a storm or front approaches
• GIS and mapping activities to investigate water quality, species distributions, and more (when used with other sensors)
• Investigate microclimates around campus
