  2. 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.

  3. Log wind profile - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Log_wind_profile

    The log wind profile is generally considered to be a more reliable estimator of mean wind speed than the wind profile power law in the lowest 10–20 m of the planetary boundary layer. Between 20 m and 100 m both methods can produce reasonable predictions of mean wind speed in neutral atmospheric conditions.

  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. Anemometer - Wikipedia

    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. It is a common instrument used in weather stations.

  6. Wind direction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wind_direction

    Weather forecasts typically give the direction of the wind along with its speed, for example a "northerly wind at 15 km/h" is a wind blowing from the north at a speed of 15 km/h. [1] If wind gusts are present, their speed may also be reported.

  7. Rotational frequency - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rotational_frequency

    Rotational frequency, also known as rotational speed or rate of rotation (symbols ν, lowercase Greek nu, and also n), is the frequency of rotation of an object around an axis. Its SI unit is the reciprocal seconds (s −1 ); other common units of measurement include the hertz (Hz), cycles per second (cps), and revolutions per minute (rpm).

  9. Low-level windshear alert system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Low-level_windshear_alert...

    Pilots may decide whether to land (or conduct a missed approach) after wind shear alerts are issued. LLWAS wind shear alerts are defined as wind speed gain or loss of between 20 and 30 knots aligned with the active runway direction. "Low level" refers to altitudes of 2,000 ft (610 m) or less above ground level (AGL).
