Finding a suitable site for WMT700 is important for getting representative
measurements. The site should represent the general area of interest. It is
recommended that you follow the WMO Guide to Meteorological Instruments
and Methods of Observation WMO-No. 8.
When mounting on a vertical pole mast, WMT700 can be placed either on the
side or on top of the mast. The figure below shows the mounting options for a
vertical mast.
When mounting WMT700 on a cross arm, the wind sensor can be placed with
the array facing up or down. The following figure shows WMT700 installed
with the array facing up. If the wind sensor is installed with the array facing
down, refer to section Configuration Parameters in the User's Guide.
