   How do we measure wind speed?

   • A device for measuring wind speed is known as an anemometer, and there are many different types. The type used on weather stations and hand-held versions uses three cups on a spindle – the wind force on the open side of the cup is greater than that on the rounded side, making the cups rotate.

   What is a wind speed scale?

   • This scale was created in 1805 by Francis Beaufort, a hydrographer, meteorologist, and Royal Navy Irish officer (later Rear Admiral). It is also important to know that wind speed is usually measured at 10 meters (32 feet) above sea level. So the anemometers are often mounted on the roofs of buildings and other places, not on the ground.

   What instrument is used to measure wind speed?

   • The traditional and the most common tool or the instrument used for measuring wind speed (and direction) is called an anemometer. It consists of a vertical pillar and three or four cups. These cups capture the movement of air flows, and that’s how we get data about wind speed. But this is not the only type of instrument for measuring wind.

   Why is wind measured at a high frequency?

   • Because wind is an element that varies rapidly over very short periods of time it is sampled at high frequency (every 0.25 sec) to capture the intensity of gusts, or short-lived peaks in speed, which inflict greatest damage in storms. The gust speed and direction are defined by the maximum three second average wind speed occurring in any period.

   How is wind direction measured?

   • Wind direction is measured by a vane consisting of a thin horizontal arm carrying a vertical flat plate at one end with its edge to the wind and at the other end a balance weight which also serves as a pointer. The arm is carried on a vertical spindle mounted on bearings which allow it to turn freely in the wind.

   What is the difference between wind speed and airspeed?

   • Not to be confused with Airspeed. An anemometer is commonly used to measure wind speed. 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 temperature. Wind speed is now commonly measured with an anemometer.

   It is also important to know that wind speed is usually measured at 10 meters (32 feet) above sea level. So the anemometers are often mounted on the roofs of buildings and other places, not on the ground. It means that the wind forecast you see in the app is always made at this exact and only high.

   The Beaufort scale (/ ˈ b oʊ f ər t / BOH-fərt) is an empirical measure that relates wind speed to observed conditions at sea or on land. Its full name is the Beaufort wind force scale.

   Wind measurement is composed of two complementary parameters: its speed (or force) and its direction. The units of measurement of wind used in the UK are km/h or m/s for its speed, and knots (1 knot = 1.852 km/h) which are mainly used by sailors and pilots.
