2. Anemometer - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anemometer

   Cup anemometer animation. A simple type of anemometer was invented in 1845 by Rev. Dr. John Thomas Romney Robinson of Armagh Observatory. It consisted of four hemispherical cups on horizontal arms mounted on a vertical shaft. The air flow past the cups in any horizontal direction turned the shaft at a rate roughly proportional to the wind's speed.

   Anemometer for measuring wind speed; Pyranometer for measuring solar radiation; Rain gauge for measuring liquid precipitation over a set period of time; Wind sock for measuring general wind speed and wind direction; Wind vane (also called a weather vane or a weathercock) for showing the wind direction

4. Wind speed - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wind_speed

   An anemometer is commonly used to measure wind speed. Global distribution of wind speed at 10m above ground averaged over the years 1981–2010 from the CHELSA-BIOCLIM+ data set [ 1 ] In meteorology , wind speed , or wind flow speed , is a fundamental atmospheric quantity caused by air moving from high to low pressure , usually due to changes ...

7. Apparent wind - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apparent_wind

   Mast rotation - many racing multihulls have a mast that can be rotated, so the anemometer reading needs to be corrected by the angle of rotation of the mast; Heel angle - this is a simple trigonometric correction; Upwash from the sails - the airflow around the top of the mast is distorted by the presence of the sails.
