SKYWATCH Omnidirectional Windmeters:

JDC's SKYWATCH series was launched over seven years ago, and has become the standard for marine and scientific wind meters. The Eole and Meteos were discontinued in 2007, and new versions are launching in 2009 with an all-new design and features! The most accurate omni-directional wind meters on the market, JDC's SKYWATCH series offers great functions at an affordable price. Designed for consumer and professional use, the SKYWATCH series does not include complicated and seldom-used features such as downloading and storing. Press one button, and instant readings are at your fingertips.

The previous versions of the EOLE & METEOS have been discontinued. Please click here for the previous version.

The EOLE 1 measures wind speed only. The large rotating cups will measure a breeze from under 1.0 mph to the strongest winds..

The METEOS 1 adds a temperature sensor to measure air temperature and calculate windchill.

All versions of the EOLE and METEOS feature average windspeed with selections from a 3 second average to 24 hour average. They are waterproof and float and come with a protective cover for the impeller. The LCD has an EL backlight, and the case has an aluminum baseplate for a tripod attachment. The new design allows for the Eole and Meteos to be powered by 2 AA batteries, rather than a button cell.

The ATMOS (not redesigned) is designed specifically for the agricultural and scientific markets. Wind speed, temperature, and relative humidity are measured. Windchill and dew point are calculated on the ATMOS. This unit is by far the best device for measuring windspeed, temperature, and humidity. It is simple to use, accurate, and dependable. The hygrometer never needs calibration, maintaining its high accuracy over the life of the product.

JDC's SKYWATCH EOLE, METEOS, and ATMOS are ideal instruments for a variety of uses. Any windsport requires windspeed, and omnidirectional windmeters are simple and quick to use. Simply hold them up in the wind to get the instant windspeed. The Eole and Meteos are waterproof and float, making them ideal for watersports and marine uses. The Atmos is water resistant, excellent for outdoor uses, but will not withstand direct contact with water other than rain.

These are also in use around the globe for military and shooting uses. Wind, temperature, and humidity all affect what goes on in the field, from troop fatigue to shooting adjustments. The internal battery provides hundreds of measurements, with a battery-saving auto-off feature. The SKYWATCH EOLE, METEOS and ATMOS all have a tripod fitting on the bottom, which allows for extended measurements.

Our SKYWATCH omni-directional windmeters have been used around the world in agriculture, marine, and outdoor markets for over a decade. Made in Switzerland with Swiss components, our customers have had many years of use from their instruments. The new design of the Eole and Meteos make them ideal for a wide variety of uses.

Details:

WINDSPEED:

  • All SKYWATCH
  • Balanced impeller allows for wind measurement from any direction
  • The impeller is magnetized, producing a magnetic field when rotating which is measured internally
  • The Eole and Meteos feature a newly designed three-cup impeller for accuracy in very low winds

TEMPERATURE:

  • SKYWATCH Meteos and Atmos
  • External thermometer is located under wind cups
  • Temperature adjusts quickly
  • Windchill readings

RELATIVE HUMIDITY:

  • SKYWATCH Atmos
  • Relative humidity is dependant on measured temperature; allow device to adjust to temperature for accuracy
  • Relative humidity can change drastically over short areas, due to uneven humidity levels
  • The SKYWATCH Atmos features a hygrometer that does not need periodic calibration, for continuous accurate results
