visibility sensor principle
The XF200L ultrasonic anemometer achieves high-precision wind speed and direction measurement by combining multiple advanced technologies. Its working principle will be explained in detail below.
- Forward Scattering Principle: Estimates visibility by measuring the scattering intensity of light beams by airborne particles.
- Light Attenuation Analysis: Calculates atmospheric transmittance based on changes in light intensity attenuation caused by particulate matter.
- Multi-Particle Response Model: Distinguishes and compensates for scattering characteristics of particles with varying sizes and forms—such as smoke, dust, haze, rain, and snow—through algorithmic differentiation.
- Ambient Light Suppression: Eliminates interference from background light sources like sunlight and vehicle headlights using optical shading structures and filtering algorithms.
- Temperature & Humidity Compensation: Automatically corrects environmental variations affecting light propagation to enhance visibility calculation accuracy.
- Dynamic Filtering & Stability Processing: Smooths measurement signals to prevent misinterpretation caused by rain/snow pulses and transient fluctuations.
