Abstract:

The principles of operation of ultrasonic anemometer-thermometers and their development history are described. The specifications of more than 40 design models manufactured by world leading firms are presented. The analysis is illustrated by pictures and tables, which include measurement ranges for measurable parameters, measurement accuracy, sensor sample rate, application conditions, weight and size, power supply, etc. The metrological provision problems for these devices are described as well.
