An anemometer is a device that measures wind speed. While we used and demonstrated a hand-held anemometer to the third graders at Pine Island Elementary School, we should note that there are much ...

Cup anemometer with separate wind vane - Uses three cups to measure wind speed, while a wind vane measures wind direction. The vane always points in the direction that the wind is coming from and ...

With just a few simple steps, you can measure temperature, rain totals and wind speed from your own home or business. WRAL meteorologist Kat Campbell explains how to build your own weather station ...

Another way to measure wind speed is with Doppler radar. Radar recordings aren't considered for wind records by the WMO because they are remote estimates, versus direct measurements, Cerveny said.

These would not be the first to take the Martian wind speed, to be clear, as landers have done that for quite some time. Even Viking 1 managed to grab some Martian wind measurements nearly fifty ...

This is a wind scale from 1 to 5 that is based on the maximum sustained wind speed measured within a hurricane. No other factors, such as storm surge, flooding or tornadoes, are taken into account.

The sensor on that equipment that measures wind speed was developed by a team at the Mount Washington Observatory. Keith Garrett, the observatory’s technology director, ...

Researchers have tested a suite of anemometers — tools that measure wind speeds — designed to operate on the surface of Mars. These would not be the first to take the Martian wind speed, to be ...
