A Guyed MET Tower is a slender, cable-stabilized structure equipped with precision meteorological sensors to measure wind speed, direction, temperature, pressure, and humidity at multiple heights. These towers provide critical data for:
Wind farm feasibility studies
Aircraft safety (wind shear detection)
Climate/weather modeling
Structural engineering (wind load analysis)
