The only sensor you need up on the tower is an anemometer. since wind
speed varies with HAAT.  Get a wired (not wireless) one to avoid having
batteries at the unit.  Leave the WX station on the ground for the other
readings, including ground wind speed.   You would want that in addition
to wind speed at the top of the tower. 

Hazers are very fussy things that you should avoid if at all possible.
