Yankee Environmental Systems (YES)

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.
