Product Details

The Wireless Weather Sensor is an all-in-one instrument for monitoring complex environmental conditions. It houses several sensing elements within a single unit to provide 19 different measurements. Use the sensor in logging mode with the optional Weather Vane Accessory for long-term monitoring, or use it as a handheld instrument to study microclimates and local weather patterns in real time. The collected data can be wirelessly transmitted to class devices for student analysis, making it possible to perform group studies in a single class period. With the built-in GPS, students can also collect and analyze location data for GIS investigations, displaying it on the SPARKvue Map display, powered by ESRI ArcGIS.
