Windscribe
Ultrasonic Wind & Temperature Meter
WindScribe™ uses patented ultrasound technology to measure wind speed,
temperature and wind chill. Both compact and lightweight, WindScribe
contains no moving parts and has nothing to wear out or break. It’s easy to
use: just point into the wind. WindScribe measures wind speed in two
directions. Headwinds are indicated as a positive wind speed and tailwinds are indicated as a negative wind speed.
The easy to read, large LCD display includes a hold feature to capture readings. WindScribe is always ready to go,
with nothing to collapse or fold in order to use it.
