Current listing of the air column monitor sensor board:
Wind Speed Hot wire sensor from Modern Device -- as air is blown through the arms, resistance is measured to determine wind speed http://shop.moderndevice.com/products/wind-sensor
Wind Direction A tilt-compensated compass requires that the entire unit turn in the direction that the wind is facing (hence tail/weather vein on balloon concept) LSM303 - http://www.sparkfun.com/products/10703
Barometer Measures pressure and temperature. Calculates altitude by manually setting the current sea pressure level at the location. BMP085 - https://www.adafruit.com/products/391
Temperature and Humidity DHT22 - https://www.adafruit.com/products/385

I'm excited to buy these components and try out flying one-- are the some circuit diagrams around?

If its related to or descended from the air quality egg there's this diagram and bill of materials on upverter:

nice jeff, that looks like the circuit diagram. Are there also some eagle files for the board? Arduino code? no rush, but it would be nice to be able to just print and assemble.
