ABSTRACT:
A navigational aid location. The for assessing fluid conditions, such as wind, at a predetermined device is comprised of an assembly including a vertically oriented support member, a vaning member rotatably attached to the support member for pivotal movement about a horizontal axis to indicate the vertical components of the fluid, a member attached to the support member for rotation about a vertical axis to indicate the horizontal components of the fluid, and an anemometer operably attached to the support member for indicating lateral wind speed. Alternatively, a second anemometer may be mounted to the vaning member to indicate true wind speed. Also, electrical transmission components may be operatively mounted within the apparatus for relaying the direction/speed data to a remote party.
