... the ice-free performance of Thies CLIMA Ultrasonic 2D wind sensor (US2D) under extreme conditions.

In his throwback to the novel Deception Point (2001), Dan Brown recently posted a photo on Facebook showing him on Mount Washington (link to Facebook) For many years, a Thies CLIMA US2D has been operating on the weather station at Mount Washington . The image shows Dan in Arctic protective clothing in an icy environment, with the US2D model 4.3820.4x.xxx visible in the background, completely ice-free. The device is equipped with heated ultrasonic transducers, arms, and shaft, ensuring that even under extreme conditions like those at Mount Washington, with temperatures down to -43.9°C (-46.9°F) and record wind speeds of up to 408 km/h (254 mph), the device remains ice-free.

We thank Dan for this impressive real-life glimpse into the working environment of our ultrasonic anemometer!

Successful partnership: RR Kommunal and Adolf Thies GmbH & Co. KG

For more than a decade, RR Kommunal has been working successfully with Adolf Thies GmbH & Co. KG. The partnership began on September 26, 2011 with the first delivery of the innovative Laser Precipitation Monitor (LNM / LPM) . Since then, more than 300 of these high-precision devices have been installed to increase road safety on Austriaʻs roads.


Background: The aim of ASFINAG , the operator of Austriaʻs highways and expressways, was to introduce an open weather information system (OpenWIS) to improve traffic monitoring and safety, into which sensors from various manufacturers can be integrated. RR Kommunal was able to impress with the design of an innovative measuring station that included the Thies CLIMA LPM alongside other sensors.

The Thies CLIMA LPM: robust and precise.

The Thies LNM has established itself as an excellent measuring device for recording precipitation intensity and type. The device is characterized by high accuracy and reliability, which is why it is predestined for traffic applications. "The Thies LNM meets the requirements of CEN/TS 15518-4 and is therefore recommended for use in winter road maintenance," explains Marc Hillebrecht, Export Manager at Thies CLIMA. High sensitivity and flexibility: The special ability of the Thies CLIMA LNM is to detect all types of precipitation, including drizzle, very precisely. The LNM also impresses with its high sensitivity. "We are always surprised at how sensitively the Thies CLIMA LNM reacts, especially in drizzle," adds Markus Riedel.

Extract from the technical specification:

• Particle size: 0.16 ... 8 mm
• Particle velocity: 0.2 ... 20 m/s
• Intensity: < 0.001... 1000 mm/h‎

Overview of accuracy: comparison with synoptic observation:

• Drizzle > 97%
• Rain > 99%
• Hail > 97%* According to human observer
• Snow > 99%
• Sleet > 85%
• Snow drizzle > 60%‎

Integration into modern traffic infrastructure:
ASFINAG is continuously investing in the modernization of the Austrian freeway network with the aim of implementing modern safety technologies and meeting the latest EU standards.

The experience of our partner RR Kommunal is also reflected in the evaluation results of theFederal Highway Research Institute (BAST Bundesanstalt für Straßenwesen) . The Thies Laser Precipitation Monitor (LNM) was installed in December 2015 and achieved top marks in the following categories in a multi-year comparative study that ran until 2019:

• highest agreement with synoptic observations.
• the LNM was the only sensor to deliver measured values, particularly for very short precipitation events such as snowfall or hail
• Low-maintenance operation‎

These evaluation results from the BAST (Federal Highway Research Institute) serve as a reference and underline the accuracy and reliability of the Thies LNM.

We look forward to continuing to develop innovative solutions together with RR Kommunal in the future and to further strengthening our partnership.

Long-term use of Thies CLIMA weather stations under extreme climatic conditions.
For more than 8 years, several Thies CLIMA weather stations have been operated in the Atacama Desert as part of a German-Chilean research project to investigate fog as a potential sustainable source of water. The region in northern Chile is characterized on the one hand by extremely low precipitation with an average of less than 1 mm of rain per year and sometimes high wind speeds in combination with salty air. On the other hand, there is often high humidity due to rising air masses from the Pacific Ocean within sight, which leads to regular coastal fog (Camanchaca), especially at night. Due to the proximity to the sea, there are salt particles in the air, which place high demands on the corrosion resistance of the measurement technology. UV radiation is extremely high and temperatures fluctuate between over 35°C and just above freezing, depending on the time of year and time of day. The investigation of local vegetation as a bioindicator for fog availability requires extremely robust and at the same time precise meteorological measurement technology. The overall technical solutions must be flexibly adaptable in order to be able to integrate additional sensor technology for new scientific questions.

In this environment, Thies CLIMA weather stations have proven themselves many times and over many years. In detail, the following are used:
1) Wind speed and wind direction: Compact series 4.3519.00.000 , 4.3129.60.000 and Classic series 4.3303.22.XXX and4.3125.33.XXX
Mechanical wind speed and wind direction sensors from the Compact and Classic series are used as wind measuring instruments. Both product categories are characterized by high robustness and durability, which is why they are used in applications with high availability requirements, such as wind turbines. Due to their wind measurement characteristics, the devices in the Classic series have established themselves as the standard wind measurement instrument for meteorological weather measurement networks for many decades. Due to the all-metal housing design, the Classic series is also used in the offshore sector, particularly for marine applications. The compact Compact series is also used in numerous infrastructural applications such as traffic applications, but also in building automation and in numerous special applications.

2) Temperature and humidity sensor: Compact series 1.1005.64.000
The very accurate sensor is also ideally suited for off-grid applications due to its low power consumption. A 4-wire PT100 sensor is used for temperature measurement and a capacitive measuring element for relative humidity, which provides reliable data even under extreme conditions. The integrated ZE21 sintered filter protects the high-precision measuring system from dust and other particles, which has proven its worth in the dusty environment of the Atacama Desert.

3) Precipitation sensor 5.4032.35.007
Thanks to the use of reed contacts, the precipitation sensor does not require an additional power supply, which makes it ideal for remote or self-sufficient locations. The device has a high linearity from very low precipitation intensities to heavy rainfall. Incorrect measurements during extreme events (> 40 mm/h) can be compensated for by the sensor electronics, so that a correct precipitation total is determined, which has often proved its worth in the case of the sometimes high volumes of fog water. In the research project, the precision up to the very high precipitation intensities is decisive, as the fog water quantities are recorded via so-called “standard fog collectors” and measured via the precipitation sensor. The stainless steel housing gives the device high corrosion resistance, robustness and resistance to environmental influences and temperature fluctuations.

4) Data logger: DLU 9.1711.10.000 (as well as DL 16 9.172x.xx.xxx )
The data loggers are characterized by low power consumption, which makes them ideal for applications with limited power supply. They offer reliable data logging over long periods of time and are easy to integrate. Data transmission is very flexible, including via mobile radio or satellite. Data can be transmitted live from anywhere in the world, no matter how remote. Several measuring stations are processed via one logger, including data from a local measuring network.

The technical specifications of the sensors used meet the requirements of the WMO, World Meteorological Organization.

January, 2024 - 10 years of Thies CLIMA weather stations in the ÖBB measuring network: The Austrian Federal Railways (ÖBB) and the German company Thies CLIMA can look back on 10 years of partnership. Together they have expanded the meteorological measuring network of ÖBB-Infrastruktur AG across the board, now with 33 automatic weather stations at particularly critical locations along the ÖBB rail network, with the latest station being installed at the Semmering Wolfsbergkogel site.

ÖBB has been operating a comprehensive weather warning system since 2005, which is used, among other things, for the early detection of natural hazards such as avalanches, debris flows and heavy rainfall events. The probability of these events can be predicted using models based on locally recorded weather data. In this way, the weather stations contribute to the early detection of hazards and help to ensure uninterrupted rail operations. After initially only operating so-called high mountain weather stations at alpine locations, an EU-wide tender for additional basic weather stations for installation in the immediate vicinity of the tracks and at particularly neuralgic points such as in front of tunnels and bridges followed in 2012. Thies CLIMA was awarded the contract by ÖBB-Infrastruktur AG with a bid that was convincing in terms of technology, quality and ultimately also price.

These basic weather stations are equipped with a comprehensive range of sensors, such as ultrasonic anemometers, sunshine duration sensors, pyranometers, snow depth sensors, hygro-thermo sensors, laser precipitation monitors, rain monitors, precipitation sensors and temperature sensors. The stations are also equipped with data loggers, a complete data management system and a comprehensive range of accessories. Thies CLIMA products are characterized by their precision, reliability and robustness. Seamless data compatibility with the existing network ensures that the data is provided reliably and quickly in the central database for further processing. Another component is the accompanying maintenance contract, which is implemented by Thies CLIMAʻs sister company, Thies Systems. This ensures continuous compliance with the high quality standards. The qualified team, trained in accordance with the employee protection standards specifically required in the railroad environment, maintains the existing network and implements the installation of new stations.

ÖBB-Infrastruktur AG strategically planned and designed the basic weather station network in detail in collaboration with meteorologists. The decision to implement this measuring network proved to be the right one back in 2013, when the country was hit by a devastating flood. Thanks to the weather data provided in real time, it was possible to close railroad lines in good time for safety reasons and prevent damage to people and vehicles. Since then, the weather station network has been systematically supplemented and expanded in a proven partnership.

Voices from the partnership:
Fö Ing. Herbert Kupka (Route Management and System Development, ÖBB-Infrastruktur AG): "Thies CLIMA has proven to be a reliable, future-proof and innovative partner."
Marc Hillebrecht (Export Manager, Thies CLIMA): "The long-standing cooperation with ÖBB-Infrastruktur AG fills us with pride. Supporting a measurement network over the years, both in terms of technology and service, is a valuable source of feedback for us."

The 10-year partnership between ÖBB-Infrastruktur AG and Thies CLIMA underlines a common business principle: long-term, secure planning and reliable partnership. Sounds old-fashioned - but it is still a promising recipe for successful projects.

Dec. 2023/Jan. 2024: In the world of ski jumping, our ultrasonic anemometers are constantly working in the background - they are the silent helpers. These high-precision anemometers play an inconspicuous but crucial role by continuously and accurately measuring the wind conditions with their ultrasonic measuring principle. Since 2009, the wind factor calculated from these wind measurements is an official part of the scoring for the jumps. The wind measurements contribute to more fairness and safety. In a sport that is often described as a "wind lottery", our anemometers help to make the influence of the weather on the athletic success of ski jumpers calculable, so that athletic performances can be compared as objectively as possible. Of course, the jumpers also use the wind data to prepare for the jump and to help the organizers ensure the safety of all participants. And despite all the technology, it is still a risky sport, so we admire all the ski jumpers who fearlessly throw themselves down the jumps and jump incredible distances. And despite all the technology, it is still a risky sport, so we admire all the ski jumpers who fearlessly plunge down the hills and jump incredible distances.

The trams are equipped with Thies Clima sensors to record weather data such as air temperature, humidity, wind speed and direction as well as air quality. GPS and electronic magnetic compass allow more precise data to be collected for the current location. With its own sensors optimised for mobile applications, Thies Clima offers solutions for the growing need for data-based environmental management in urban areas.

High measuring quality and robust, reliable technology

The Hygro-Thermo-Pressure (H T P) sensors of our COMPACT series are designed to measure relative humidity, air temperature and atmospheric pressure.

This sensor is well suited for use at meteorological measuring stations and for connection to data logger systems. Due to its universal interface, the sensor can also be used as a single solution in any suitable application.

The excellent dynamics due to the separately positioned temperature sensor and the use of stainless steel as the housing material, as well as the protection class IP 67, are the special features of this sensor. This allows it to be used even in applications with the highest stresses.

The outstanding features of the sensor are:• high long-term stability,

• almost linear characteristic curve,
• very good dynamic behaviour,
• resistance to condensation,
• low temperature coefficient,
• lowest hysteresis.

The internal WEB server displays the instantaneous measuring values clearly-arranged as text and as diagram. The measuring values are, device-specifically, prepared by the WEB server and optimally displayed, depending if the data query comes from PC, tablet and smartphone. A simple data visualization is, thus, possible without additional software.

Watch now

The datalogger records measuring values via two serial interfaces RS485/422, and via integrated analogue and digital input channels. The serial interfaces are designed for the connection of sensors with THIES data protocol. It is possible to connect up to 32 devices to one bus. The analogue inputs serve for connecting a humidity temperature sensor with PT100, and voltage output, and up to three sensors with voltage output 0 … 10 V. The digital inputs support the direct connection of a wind direction transmitter with synchronous-serial output, and two precipitation meters with pulse output.
