Weather Sensors

OSi is a world leader in weather & environmental sensors


  WIVIS-DSP

(WIVIS Digital Signal Processing) measures visibility, detects and quantifies rain, snow, drizzle, freezing and mixed precipitation conditions. The sensor is designed for year-round continuous operation in all climates. These sensors provide critical information to airport, highway, military, research and meteorological information systems all over the world.

 

  WIVIS(Weather Indicator Visibility Sensor) reports precipitation occurrence, type, intensity, and accumulation in a variety of weather codes (NWS / WMO), units of measure (English / SI) as well as visibility. It is perfect for general weather observation, transportation information, and other applications. It is our most successful commercial weather instrument.
 

 LOA-005(Long-baseline Optical Anemometer) uses optical scintillation to detect changes occurring in small parcels of air whose temperature and density differ from their surroundings. It accurately measures wind or turbulence in all weather conditions. It is vastly superior to traditional type sensors and offers the reliability and proven performance you need!
 

  HIP(Hail & Ice Pellet) Sensor enhances the present weather capabilities of the WIVIS by detecting the occurrence and intensity of hail and ice pellets. The acoustic arm is easy to install on the instrument enclosure, tower, or mounting column.
 

  ORG(Optical Rain Gauge) provides accurate measurement of rain rate. This ability makes the instrument more reliable than traditional tipping buckets or collection gauges which have problems with very light and heavy events. The ORG is not affected by overcapacity and not greatly influenced by wind effects as are mechanical methods.
 

  VIS(Visibility Sensor) uses the same reliable optical technology employed in the WIVIS to measure visibility and RVR (Runway Visual Range). Whether used for fog detection on a highway or at an airport, the VIS can operate in a broad range of applications with the same rugged, all-weather design as the rest of our products.
