美國(guó)定標(biāo)級(jí)別的專業(yè)氣象和輻射儀表制造商YANKEE公司
美國(guó)Yankee Environmental Systems 公司是一家世界著名的氣象儀器生產(chǎn)公司，尤其以生產(chǎn)定標(biāo)或校準(zhǔn)級(jí)別的高精度產(chǎn)品（比如多波段旋轉(zhuǎn)遮光輻射計(jì)）而聞名。Yankee 公司客戶遍及美國(guó)世界各地。在美國(guó)國(guó)內(nèi)，美國(guó)能源部、國(guó)防部、農(nóng)業(yè)部和商業(yè)部都有使用該公司產(chǎn)品。
Yankee所有產(chǎn)品都是采用美國(guó)最先進(jìn)的遙感技術(shù)。通過(guò)多種并行研發(fā)項(xiàng)目，其重點(diǎn)是利用最新的光電技術(shù)，提供環(huán)境和氣象業(yè)務(wù)研究使用的產(chǎn)品。Yankee工程師們一直與多家世界一流的研究型大學(xué)，其中包括： 弗吉尼亞理工大學(xué)、 紐約州立大學(xué)、 馬薩諸塞大學(xué)等，以及主要的國(guó)家實(shí)驗(yàn)室，其中包括：美國(guó)能源部（DOE）太平洋西北國(guó)家實(shí)驗(yàn)室、美國(guó)空軍研究實(shí)驗(yàn)室、全國(guó)大氣研究中心（NCAR）等，他們都與Yankee公司有緊密的合作關(guān)系。
Yankee是一個(gè)以工程和客戶為驅(qū)動(dòng)的組織，這一事實(shí)充分顯示在其創(chuàng)新的環(huán)境感應(yīng)器中，以產(chǎn)品的高品質(zhì)和長(zhǎng)期穩(wěn)定性聞名遐邇。如：無(wú)線電探空儀的自動(dòng)發(fā)射器中使用的獨(dú)特的互聯(lián)網(wǎng)功能的數(shù)據(jù)收集和儲(chǔ)存方法，多波段旋轉(zhuǎn)遮光光譜儀和全天空成像儀都代表未來(lái)的遠(yuǎn)程氣象觀測(cè)系統(tǒng)。最先進(jìn)的檢測(cè)器、電子元件、溫度穩(wěn)定和堅(jiān)固的機(jī)械包裝有助于確保精確的長(zhǎng)期運(yùn)作。長(zhǎng)期投資的自動(dòng)校準(zhǔn)實(shí)驗(yàn)室提供整套先進(jìn)的可追蹤定標(biāo)實(shí)驗(yàn)儀器，支持傳感器產(chǎn)品的特性校準(zhǔn)和標(biāo)定。

Yankee提供完整系列的專業(yè)參考級(jí)光學(xué)水汽測(cè)量?jī)x器，使用最新的數(shù)字化制冷鏡面和熱穩(wěn)定技術(shù)。同時(shí)，其大多數(shù)的水汽濕度儀器都采用微機(jī)管理和自適應(yīng)數(shù)字控制回路的技術(shù)，備有TCP / IP網(wǎng)絡(luò)友好界面。 可以方便地從網(wǎng)絡(luò)度取和監(jiān)控?cái)?shù)據(jù)。
Yankee技術(shù)的目標(biāo)是減少觀測(cè)的人為主觀性和日常觀測(cè)對(duì)人力的依賴，從而提高數(shù)據(jù)質(zhì)量，降低客戶的日常業(yè)務(wù)成本。產(chǎn)品測(cè)量覆蓋地面和高空氣象參數(shù)如：太陽(yáng)輻射，氣溫，空氣露點(diǎn)/濕度，氣壓，風(fēng)速和降水等，甚至空間天氣。Yankee專門(mén)以其創(chuàng)造性的核心遙感技術(shù)，為解決客戶的遠(yuǎn)程觀測(cè)應(yīng)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.
