  2. Windsock - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Windsock

    Wind tetrahedrons always have their pointy ends pointing to the wind. Wind tees and tetrahedrons can swing freely and align themselves with the wind direction, but neither measures the wind speed, unlike a windsock. Since a wind tee or tetrahedron can also be manually set to align with the runway in use, a pilot should also look at the wind ...

  3. Wind direction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wind_direction

    Consequently, a wind blowing from the north has a wind direction referred to as 0° (360°); a wind blowing from the east has a wind direction referred to as 90°, etc. 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 ...

  4. Anemometer - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anemometer

    The time that a sonic pulse takes to travel from one transducer to its pair is inversely proportionate to the speed of sound in air plus the wind velocity in the same direction: = (+) where is the time of flight, is the distance between transducers, is the speed of sound in air and is the wind velocity. In other words, the faster the wind is ...

    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

  6. 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. Drift meter - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drift_meter

    Since the ground speed in that heading can be measured by the drift meter, one can calculate the wind speed by subtracting the airspeed from the ground speed. The sign of the difference indicates whether the wind direction is in the zero-drift heading or reciprocal to it. If the difference is zero, there is no wind present.
