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 ...

Atmospheric scientists have developed an algorithm that uses data from water vapor movements to measure wind. This could help predict extreme events like hurricanes. Wind speed and direction provide ...

Looking for a reliable home weather station that fits your needs? We tested a range of weather stations to see how well they ...

EARLY THURSDAY MORNING the 590-foot cargo ship Angelic Zephyr moored to the Port of Port Angeles’ terminal 3. The Panamanian-flagged vessel will remain in port for about a week as longshoremen load ...

GRAND RAPIDS — Meteorologist talk about wind speed all the time but do you know which tool they use to measure it? In today's weather experiment we are going to learn about measuring wind speed with ...

Wind is the invisible force we feel on our faces, see rustling through trees, and hear whistling around buildings. But what exactly is wind, and why does it behave the way it does? At its core, wind ...

Light detection technology helps gauge wind speed and direction. A French start-up company in the Netherlands has developed a small instrument to measure wind speed and direction from the ground up to ...

The profitability of a wind farm depends directly upon reducing uncertainty when wind resources are being assessed and when wind turbines are being fine-tuned. Project risks vary from site to site, ...

Martian landers have been able capture measurements of wind speeds -- some gauging the cooling rate of heated materials when winds blow over them, others using cameras to image 'tell-tales' that blow ...

"This is important for understanding atmospheric variables that could be problematic for small vehicles such as the Ingenuity helicopter that flew on Mars recently." When you purchase through links on ...
