  7. questionWhich Maretron products are necessary in order to display true wind referenced to water speed?
    In order to display true wind referenced to water speed, you will need a WSO100, a DST100, and a display capable of computing true wind referenced to water speed. The WSO100 measures the apparent wind while the DST100 provides Speed Through Water (STW) and the display computes and shows true win ...

  8. questionWhat is the difference between true wind referenced to ground speed and true wind referenced to water speed?
    True wind is computed by subtracting the vessel speed from the apparent wind. The vessel speed is either referenced to the water (Speed Through Water (STW)) or the vessel speed is referenced to the ground (Speed Over Ground SOG)). If the STW is subtracted from the apparent wind, then the compute ...

  9. questionWhich Maretron products are required for me to display true wind referenced to ground speed?
    In order to display true wind referenced to ground speed you will need a WSO100, a GPS200, a SSC200, and a display capable of computing true wind referenced to ground speed. The WSO100 measures the apparent wind while the GPS200 provides Speed Over Ground (SOG) and Course Over Ground (COG), the ...

  10. questionWhat is apparent wind?
    Apparent wind is what the Maretron WSO100 measures and doesn't necessarily reflect what the wind is truly doing. For example, if the vessel was moving at exactly 5 knots and the wind was blowing in the exact opposite direction at 5 knots, then the WSO100 measured, or apparent wind speed would be ...

  11. questionWhat is true wind?
    True wind is what the wind is truly doing and it can be computed from the measured apparent wind by subtracting the vessels speed. For example, if the vessel was moving at exactly 5 knots and the wind was blowing in the exact opposite direction at 5 knots, then the WSO100 measured, or apparent w ...

  15. questionWhat is ground wind?
    Ground wind is the speed and direction of the wind referenced to a compass rose, which is different than apparent and true wind which are referenced to the bow of the boat. The apparent and true wind are interesting to see how the wind is effecting or pushing the boat (i.e., when sailing or dock ...

  16. questionWhat is the difference between an anemometer that uses mechanical cups and vane versus an anemometer that uses ultrasonic technology?
