Measurements employing RH may G1/G7 Ballistics Solver – Applied Ballistics library of lab tested bullet data and Applied Ballistics Ultralite™ ballistics engine. Expect extreme accuracy out to the max range of 875yds Cup anemometers - The simplest type of anemometer which is mounted on a pole and consists of a set of two, three or four spinning cups that blow in the wind. As the wind gets stronger, the cup formation spins faster, and the anemometer captures the speed of the airflow and displays it as a digital readout. This Kestrel meter does it all. The Kestrel 5500 weather meter provides the same trusted accuracy, reliability, and usability as the original Kestrel 4500. Measure every environmental condition plus wind direction, crosswind and headwind/tailwind. Use it golfing, sailing, flying, spraying, shooting and more. Drop-proof, dust-proof, waterproof and able to withstand extreme environments without damage, your Kestrel weather meter travels with you anywhere you dare to go. A range of carry pouch options makes it even easier to take your Kestrel meter with you. Temperature indicated by a sling psychrometer. Due to nature of the psychrometric ratio for a water-air system, this approximates the thermodynamic wet-bulb temperature. The thermodynamic wet-bulb temperature is the temperature a parcel of air would have if cooled adiabatically to saturation temperature via water evaporating into it.

All measurements of the top highest wind speeds were done using automatic systems. The reason that there are no handheld devices in the top is that human beings can only withstand wind speeds up to 160-240km/h (100-150mph). Conclusion Every Kestrel is sealed to IP-67; this means they are totally protected from dust and can be submerged in water to 1m (3ft) for up to 30 minutes without any leakage. To ensure that each Kestrel meets this standard, each one is subjected to a vacuum leak test after final assembly. Kestrel meters used in underground coal mines is testimony to their dust-resistance. The Kestrel range have been drop-tested to MIL-STD-810F United States Military Standard.

If you get a hand held anemometer yourself, you can go and find the highest wind speeds in your area, although you will probably (and hopefully) not come close to the highest wind speeds recorded. The Absolute Highest Wind Speed Ever Recorded At this point, if you are shooting at an angle, you can enter the angle of inclination to the target, above or below the horizontal – this is accessed by pressing select, scrolling down to Ideg and entering the angle in degrees, or Icos for the cosine angle. These angles can be obtained from your rangefinder, ACI on your rifle, or any other chosen method. They will be more important at longer ranges and with angles greater than 5-7°. Remember that all shots up or downhill will result in your impacts being high, unless you compensate for the angle. The second type: the vane anemometer is the most used one in handheld anemometers. This wind meter consists of blades, almost like a propellor. The blades face the wind directly, like a windmill. Optional LiNK Wireless (Bluetooth Low Energy) Communication.

One last type that is sometimes found in handheld anemometers is the hot-wire wind meter. A wire is heated to a certain temperature, whereafter it is measured at what pace the wire cools down again. The faster it cools, the higher the wind speed is. Units to Measure Wind Speed You must notify us in writing immediately if you become aware of any unauthorised use of your account.

Cal DSF creates a scaling factor tied to a specific Mach number, which adjusts the calculated drop of the bullet. DSF calibration impacts ballistic solutions in the transonic and subsonic range of the bullet only. This menu can be left alone during the initial setup, but once you are familiar with your Kestrel and your rifle at longer distances, this feature is invaluable. Wind gauges are often present on the top of cranes to monitor whether the wind is not too strong. How Does Wind Form?Once the unit is out of its box, setting it up is straightforward – you simply set the date and time, then calibrate the compass. The compass will come into use behind the scenes a lot, so following these simple steps will help ensure you have a trouble-free calibration… You grant to us the right to bring an action for infringement of the rights licensed under Section 9.2. Of course, now that you have more than one target selected you are not able to adjust the range to the target as you did earlier, as scrolling left and right now changes the selected target, not the range.

Requires accurate reference altitude to produce maximum absolute accuracy
