Fig. 7 This plot shows cup 5 wind speed - Wind Monitor vector wind speed, where the x and y axes are in meters per second (m/s). Finally, there is a difference in gain between the R.M.Young cup anemometers and the Wind Monitor. This is shown in Fig. 7 for cup 5 (the results are similar for all cups relative to the Wind Monitor given the small differences between all the cups). R.M.Young has been notified regarding this. Perhaps a wind tunnel test would be appropriate. Note the difference in startup threshold is evident with the Wind Monitor responding to lower wind speeds.
