To obtain representative ambient measurements, it is important to find a suitable location for the mast. Usually, this is a steady and dry place that represents the general area of interest. For further information, see local recommendations and the World Meteorological Organization (WMO) recommendations.
| Always make a detailed siting plan according to local requirements. Vaisala recommends that you always consult a local civil engineer for this purpose. |
Allow sufficient clearance for the wind sensors. Do not locate the mast next to a building or any other object that may affect the airflow. The following figures provide general guidelines for the mast location.
