Properties:
| Properties | Definition | Type |
|---|---|---|
| ANEMOMETER | Measures wind speed, either directly, e.g. with rotating cups, or indirectly, e.g. via pressure differences or the propagation speed of ultrasound signals. |
enum value |
| WXCAM | Stationary camera that produces a visual image of the local weather. |
enum value |
| WINDSOCK | Primarily used to indicate wind direction, may also be used to estimate wind speed by its angle. |
enum value |
| WEATHER_VANE | Used to indicate wind direction. |
enum value |
| WEATHER_BALLON | Passive measurement, balloon position is tracked from the ground visually or via radar; wind profile is computed from drift rate and the theoretical speed of ascent. |
enum value |
| RAWINSONDE | GPS-based wind measurement is performed by the probe. |
enum value |
| PITOT_TUBE | Pitot Tube. |
