Wind Direction & Speed

Wind Tracker can do both.

It animates the wind.

Dangerous situation - In the first picture the smoke plume does not show wind direction, and there are no leaves on the trees to indicate what direction the wind is taking. An ordinary windsock is ineffective.

The solution - the Wind Tracker Windsock System can be set up in less than 60 seconds. It retracts to 70" and extends to heights up to 18.5' instantly! Best of all it will show winds below 1 mile per hour. That's real safety.

Trains and other mobile operations are unique in that as they transport materials from one place to another they are changing the location of material storage.

If there is an incident initiating an emergency application such as a fire, derailment, or other mishap, a community may be in danger when certain material are released. Immediate recognition of wind movement is vital.

The best way to see the wind in the field is by using a reliable low wind indicator. Windsocks remain the best all around reliable method provided they can track very low winds.

The high heat of some fires can effect the wind's speed, and it's movement. Trees, and other factors can cause wind turbulence which will carry airborne materials greater distances. Early morning fog can keep materials close to the ground increasing the area of exposure. This picture shows just how hot a fire can get. The heat of the fire has caused the tracks to deform.

Only the Wind Tracker Windsock System can detect low winds, and wind shears. Our system is presently being used in train yards and elsewhere, providing reliable wind tracking information in the field.
