    The document discusses the appropriate hardware for wind measurements, including met masts, sensors, and data acquisition. Met masts can be tubular, lattice, or a combination and range in height from 30 to 124 meters. Sensors measure wind speed, direction, temperature, barometric pressure, radiation, and other environmental values. Data acquisition systems reliably store time series data from the sensors and allow for convenient data transfer. Solar panels and batteries can power equipment on met masts without a grid connection.
