    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

    The principle behind the ceiling balloon is a balloon with a known ascent rate (how fast it climbs) and determining how long the balloon rises until it disappears into the cloud. Ascent rate times ascent time yields the ceiling height. A disdrometer is an instrument used to measure the drop size distribution and velocity of falling hydrometeors.

  4. 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.

    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.

  6. Wind speed - Wikipedia

    The anemometer was mounted 10 m above ground level (and thus 64 m above sea level). During the cyclone, several extreme gusts of greater than 83 m/s (300 km/h; 190 mph; 161 kn; 270 ft/s) were recorded, with a maximum 5-minute mean speed of 49 m/s (180 km/h; 110 mph; 95 kn; 160 ft/s); the extreme gust factor was on the order of 2.27–2.75 times ...

    Processes transferring energy from a non-thermal carrier to heat as a carrier do produce entropy (Example: mechanical/electrical friction, established by Count Rumford). Either the produced entropy or heat are measured (calorimetry) or the transferred energy of the non-thermal carrier may be measured. calorimeter

  8. Windsock - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Windsock

    Anemometer, weather vane, anemoscope A windsock (a wind cone or wind sleeve) is a conical textile tube that resembles a giant sock . It can be used as a basic indicator of wind speed and direction , or as decoration.

  9. Particle image velocimetry - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Particle_image_velocimetry

    Particle image velocimetry (PIV) is a non-intrusive optical flow measurement technique used to study fluid flow patterns and velocities. PIV has found widespread applications in various fields of science and engineering, including aerodynamics, combustion, oceanography, and biofluids.
