COMSTOCK PARK, Mich. — Meteorologists all over the world use a wide variety of instruments to measure things like temperature, air pressure, humidity and a host of other variables. In Tuesday's ...

Bucknell University Professor Katelyn Allers, physics & astronomy, is publishing the first measurement of atmospheric wind speed outside the solar system using a new technique she developed. Her study ...

CINCINNATI (WKRC) - On days like this when the wind chill get to sub-freezing temperatures, it's not really the air temperature that is the issue, it's the wind. And how meteorologists measure the ...

Wind speed measurement has long been a cornerstone of meteorological observation, renewable energy assessment and aeronautical research. The performance of anemometers—devices designed to accurately ...

Wind speed and direction provide clues for forecasting weather patterns. In fact, wind influences cloud formation by bringing water vapor together. Atmospheric scientists have now found a novel way of ...

Hurricane Matthew was inching along the Florida coastline on Friday, so close to land that its eyewall — the region of the hurricane’s strongest winds — is brushing the shore, but not close enough to ...

Engineers used to rely on meteorological towers to measure wind speed. But “met towers” only give you data for one location; they don’t tell you anything about wind velocities around a valley or along ...

To measure wind speeds, meteorologists use anemometers positioned 10 metres above the ground. Of course, the average Weather Watcher won't have access to this kind of equipment, but that shouldn't ...
