The WeatherFlow Wind Meter and its android and iOS apps not only measures wind speed, it also logs measurements and supports sharing at a very low price. There are many situations in which it’s ...

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 ...

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 ...

Have you ever wondered how an electronic wind vane translates a direction into a unique signal? It seems as though it might be very complicated, and indeed some of them are. [martinm] over at ...

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, ...

Fraunhofer wind technology research group develops lidar-based wind monitor to optimize turbine performance. In the North Sea, wind measurement buoy with sophisticated, precise measurement technology.
