The -DSH model identifies whether visibility impairments are caused by haze\/fog vs. dust\/smoke. The sensor is designed for year-round continuous operation in all climates from Antarctica to tropical rain forests. OSI&#8217;s advanced weather sensors provide critical weather information to airport, highway, military, research and meteorological weather information systems all over the world with over 3000 systems fielded.<\/p>\n<p>Thanks to the new DSP electronics, the need for field calibration is eliminated. The single enclosure makes integration and installation simple. Adding the optional HIP-100 acoustic sensor provides for enhanced hail and ice pellet discrimination. The DSP-WIVIS\u2122 is widely used by airports and regional DOT&#8217;s across the US and throughout the world.<\/p>\n<p><a class=\"fasc-button fasc-size-xlarge fasc-type-glossy fasc-rounded-medium\" style=\"background-color: #1a4f7b; color: #ffffff;\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/thomsongroup.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/OWI-430-DSP-WIVIS-Brochure-2021.pdf\">Download Brochure<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The OWI-430 DSP-WIVIS\u2122 is a fully automated weather and visibility sensor that provides accurate visibility, present weather and precipitation measurement in a single sensor.
