Ultrasonic anemometer vs mechanical anemometer

Ultrasonic anemometers measure wind speed and direction using the time-of-flight difference of ultrasonic waves. They contain no mechanical parts, offering fast response times, high accuracy, and maintenance-free operation. In contrast, mechanical anemometers (such as cup anemometers or vane anemometers) rely on rotating components to sense wind force. These are prone to wear, affected by dust or ice buildup, require frequent maintenance, and have relatively slower response times. In comparison, ultrasonic anemometers are better suited for long-term outdoor monitoring, harsh environments, and high-precision applications.
