美国Yankee Environmental Systems 公司是一家世界著名的气象仪器生产公司,尤其以生产定标或校准级别的高精度产品(比如多波段旋转遮光辐射计)而闻名。Yankee 公司客户遍及美国世界各地。在美国国内,美国能源部、国防部、农业部和商业部都有使用该公司产品。
Yankee所有产品都是采用美国最先进的遥感技术。通过多种并行研发项目,其重点是利用最新的光电技术,提供环境和气象业务研究使用的产品。Yankee工程师们一直与多家世界一流的研究型大学,其中包括: 弗吉尼亚理工大学、 纽约州立大学、 马萨诸塞大学等,以及主要的国家实验室,其中包括:美国能源部(DOE)太平洋西北国家实验室、美国空军研究实验室、全国大气研究中心(NCAR)等,他们都与Yankee公司有紧密的合作关系。
Yankee是一个以工程和客户为驱动的组织,这一事实充分显示在其创新的环境感应器中,以产品的高品质和长期稳定性闻名遐迩。如:无线电探空仪的自动发射器中使用的独特的互联网功能的数据收集和储存方法,多波段旋转遮光光谱仪和全天空成像仪都代表未来的远程气象观测系统。最先进的检测器、电子元件、温度稳定和坚固的机械包装有助于确保精确的长期运作。长期投资的自动校准实验室提供整套先进的可追踪定标实验仪器,支持传感器产品的特性校准和标定。
Yankee提供完整系列的专业参考级光学水汽测量仪器,使用最新的数字化制冷镜面和热稳定技术。同时,其大多数的水汽湿度仪器都采用微机管理和自适应数字控制回路的技术,备有TCP / IP网络友好界面。 可以方便地从网络度取和监控数据。
Yankee技术的目标是减少观测的人为主观性和日常观测对人力的依赖,从而提高数据质量,降低客户的日常业务成本。产品测量覆盖地面和高空气象参数如:太阳辐射,气温,空气露点/湿度,气压,风速和降水等,甚至空间天气。Yankee专门以其创造性的核心遥感技术,为解决客户的远程观测应用需求而努力。
Since 1989, Yankee engineers have been focused on solving some of the most difficult measuring problems known to man, including global warming, acid rain, and ozone depletion. Our instrumentation products help solve some of your most difficult challenges in temperature and moisture, atmospheric radiation and remote automated weather observation. More recently, Yankee has focused its efforts on operational meteorology and homeland defense, such as tracking winds that might carry a plume from a dirty bomb. Automated Total Sky Imagers and Radiosonde Launchers reduce or eliminate the need for human observers, freeing personnel to work on more value-added tasks. Yankee introduced the world's first no-moving-parts precipitation sensor based on hotplate technology licensed from the National Center for Atmospheric Research. This novel sensor will lead to important improvements in air and road safety in winter conditions.
Yankee is an engineering and customer-driven organization, and this fact shows in its innovative environmental sensors, known for their high-quality and long term stability. Unique internet-enabled data collection and storage approaches used in the line of Automated Radiosonde Launchers, Rotating Shadowband Spectroradiometers and Total Sky Imagers represents the future of remote weather observation systems. State-of-the-art detectors, electronics, temperature-stabilization, and rugged mechanical packaging helps ensure accurate long term operation. A long term investment in extensive automated calibration laboratories has resulted in a suite of advanced NIST-traceable facilities supporting the characterization of sensors.
