   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. Anemoscope - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anemoscope

   An anemoscope c1920s built by the American instrument maker Julien P. Friez & Sons is in the collection of Harvard university was designed to be used as part of an automatic wind recorder alongside a wind speed measuring anemometer. [3] Today anemoscopes are used in meteorological stations, and in transport especially boats.

   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

5. 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 ...

7. Apparent wind - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apparent_wind

   The apparent wind on board (a boat) is often quoted as a speed measured by a masthead transducer containing an anemometer and wind vane that measures wind speed in knots and wind direction in degrees relative to the heading of the boat. Modern instrumentation can calculate the true wind velocity when the apparent wind and boat speed and ...
