   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anemometer

   A hemispherical-cup anemometer of the type invented in 1846 by John Thomas Romney Robinson. In meteorology, an anemometer (from Ancient Greek άνεμος (ánemos) 'wind' and μέτρον (métron) 'measure') is a device that measures wind speed and direction.

3. List of weather instruments - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_weather_instruments

   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 in ...

5. Weather station - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Weather_station

   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: it shows which way the wind is blowing. Evaporation pan for measuring ...

6. Meteorological instrumentation - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Meteorological_instrumentation

   An anemometer measures the wind speed and the direction the wind is blowing from at the site where it is mounted. A hygrometer measures the relative humidity at a location, which can then be used to compute the dew point .

7. Automated airport weather station - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Automated_airport_weather...

   NWS and FAA ASOS stations and most of new AWOS installations are currently equipped with ultrasonic wind sensors. Unlike all other measurements, which are made between 3 and 9 feet (0.91 and 2.74 meters) above the ground, wind speed and direction are measured at 30 feet (9.1 meters). ASOS visibility sensor
