RainWise Windlog is Key in Patagonia Research
Product Used: WindLog Data Logger
Gaspar Soria is a researcher for the Patagonian National Centre (CENPAT), a multidisciplinary scientific research center for the National Scientific and Technical Research Council of Argentina. Along with fellow researchers, Pedro Fiorda and Oscar Frumento, Gaspar is conducting field research in the marine protected area of Peninsula Valdes, Northern Patagonia, Argentina. "Our particular goal," Gaspar said, is to measure wind speed and direction at three locations within the San Jose Gulf. For this, we deployed 3 RainWise WindLOG stations. We are doing this with the aim of understanding sea surface marine currents and it’s effects on the dispersal of marine shellfish larvae. We are doing research on oceanographic biology to see if the recurrence of recruitment of commercial shellfish stocks is correlated in some way with wind patterns."
"The RainWise WindLOG has been an indispensable part of this research. We are particularly impressed with how easy it is to install and use. In this environment, we need durable equipment and the WindLog has met that task, and when we have needed service or support, RainWise has always been fast and courteous in assisting us."
