Beaufort Scale is the longest and most widely used set of criteria to describe the wind conditions and its effects on land as well as on sea.   It categorizes the wind speed into 13 force numbers, from 0 (calm) to 12 (hurricane).

ADC Beaufort Scale Display

For user's convenience, the ADC displays Beaufort Scale for average wind speed.   The ADC exhibits Beaufort Scale by displaying different number of bars on the upper row of the display.    One exhibited bar is equivalent to one Beaufort Scale force number.    For example, if there are 5 bars on the display, the average wind speed is equivalent to force number 5 of Beaufort Scale.

The ADC displays the Beaufort Scale force number from 0 to 10 (if the average wind speed is higher than force number 10, the ADC will display 10).

ADC Atmospheric Data Centers

Personal Altimeters, Barometers, Instrumentation Handheld Systems

At first a first glance, these ADC™ systems seem like simple weather devices, designed to provide data like wind speed and water temperature or barometric pressure and humidity.   But the instruments in our ADC line-up are much more than they appear!

Not only can the ADC provide you with basic weather conditions and forecasts, it’s also capable of calculating more advanced measurements such as relative air density, heat index and more.

Let your partners believe you’re predicting the rain with some sort of mind-bending, supernatural powers and leave the science to Brunton.  ADC technology is the perfect example of our commitment to changing the way we live in the outdoors.
