Software development for gathering, processing and data bank storage of data taken from a sonic Anemometer

Abstract

This thesis describes the advantages of replacing a three cup anemometer and wind vane for a sonic anemometer and focuses on the software development needed to use the new sonic anemometer with the existing installations. As development progresses, more and more features are added to the program. The end result is a fully functioning program capable of reading the information, processing it and using it to calculate the wind speed and direction among six other measurements and save them in a MYSQL database with reliability. This thesis was written entirely in English but uses some sources written in German.
