   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.

   Who invented the wind speed meter?

   • Italian Renaissance man Leon Battista Alberti is credited with inventing the first anemometer, or wind speed meter, around the year 1450. Later in 1846 the English astronomer Thomas Romney Robinson invented the first cup anemometer. You can learn more about the history of the anemometer on Wikipedia.

   How does a wind meter work?

   • Simply hold the device in the air, ensuring the device is facing the direction of the wind. The instrument will then calculate the wind speed and it’ll appear on the easy-to-read digital display. When measuring the airflow outside, the reading will change as the wind naturally speeds up and slows down with each gust.

   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.

   Does a cup anemometer measure wind?

   • A cup anemometer has to be held vertically, and it will measure wind from any direction. There are other types – ranging from a simple “ping-pong ball” anemometer you can make yourself to more accurate but more expensive sonic anemometers that rely on measuring the speed that sound travels in the wind.

   An anemometer measures wind speed. Most anemometers work by counting the number of revolutions that their circular array of cups or windmill or blades make within a period of time (say, a 10 second interval) to see how fast the wind is blowing.

   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. The earliest known description of an anemometer was by Italian architect and author Leon Battista Alberti (1404–1472) in 1450.
