Meteorological tower definition
Meteorological tower means an elevated structure or other support platform with attached equipment, such as an anemometer, a wind direction vane and temperature and pressure sensors and other measurement devices, to measure and assess the wind resource in the project area. [PL 2009, c. 270, Pt. A, §2 (NEW).]
Meteorological tower means those towers which are erected primarily to measure wind speed and direction plus other data relevant to siting and operation of a WECS Project. For purposes of this ordinance, Meteorological Towers do not include towers and equipment used by airports, the Illinois Department of Transportation, or other similar applications or government agencies, to monitor weather conditions.
Meteorological tower means a structure, including all guy wires and accessory facilities, on which an anemometer is mounted for the purposes of documenting wind resources for the operation of a wind turbine generator.
More Definitions of Meteorological tower
Meteorological tower means a structure, including all guy wires and accessory facilities, on which a meteorological instrument is mounted for the purposes of documenting whether a site has wind resources sufficient for the operation of a wind turbine generator.
Meteorological tower or “met tower” means a structure designed to support the gathering of wind energy resource data , and includes the tower, base plate, anchors, guy cables and hardware, anemometers (wind speed indicators), wind direction vanes, booms to hold equipment anemometers and vanes, data logger, instrument wiring, and any telemetry devices that are used to monitor or transmit wind speed and wind flow characteristics over a period of time for either instantaneous wind information or to characterize the wind resource at a given location.
Meteorological tower means a structure that is either self-standing or supported by guy wires and ground anchors and has guy wires and accessory facilities on which equipment used to measure wind speed and direction is mounted. "Meteorological tower" does not include a structure that is affixed or located adjacent to a building, house, or barn.
Meteorological tower means a tower separate from a wind turbine designed to support the gathering of wind energy resource data. A meteorological tower shall include the tower, anemometers, wind direction vanes, and any telemetry devices that are used to monitor or transmit wind speed and wind flow characteristics at a given location.
Meteorological tower or “MET tower” means a tower which is erected to measure wind speed and directions, or collect other atmospheric or weather data relevant to siting and operating a commercial wind energy conversion system. Meteorological towers are not part of a WECS project. Meteorological towers do not include towers and equipment used by airports, the Iowa Department of Transportation, or other applications to monitor weather conditions.

Meteorological tower means a tower (which may be guy-wire supported) upon which wind and weather measurement equipment, and/or instrumentation to detect and/or measure birds, bats or other wildlife and/or other environmental conditions, along with associated communications equipment and/or other instrumentation, is mounted.
