  2. Anemometer - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anemometer

    A hemispherical-cup anemometer of the type invented in 1846 by John Thomas Romney Robinson. 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.

    These were sent throughout the Joseon dynasty of South Korea as an official tool to assess land taxes based upon a farmer's potential harvest. In 1450, Leone Battista Alberti developed a swinging-plate anemometer, and is known as the first anemometer. [1] In 1607, Galileo Galilei constructs a thermoscope.

    A measuring cup, a common instrument used to measure volume. Buoyant weight (solids) Eudiometer, pneumatic trough (gases) Flow measurement devices (liquids) Graduated cylinder (liquids) Measuring cup (grained solids, liquids) Overflow trough (solids) Pipette (liquids) If the mass density of a solid is known, weighing allows to calculate the volume.

  6. Wind - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wind

    Cup-type anemometer on a remote meteorological station An occluded mesocyclone tornado (Oklahoma, May 1999) Wind direction is usually expressed in terms of the direction from which it originates. For example, a northerly wind blows from the north to the south. [8] Weather vanes pivot to indicate the direction of the wind. [9]

  7. Apparent wind - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apparent_wind

    The apparent wind is the wind experienced by an observer in motion and is the relative velocity of the wind in relation to the observer. [citation needed]The velocity of the apparent wind is the vector sum of the velocity of the headwind (which is the velocity a moving object would experience in still air) plus the velocity of the true wind.

    A hemispherical cup anemometer. In 1441, King Sejong's son, Prince Munjong of Korea, invented the first standardized rain gauge. [43] These were sent throughout the Joseon dynasty of Korea as an official tool to assess land taxes based upon a farmer's potential harvest.

  9. Windsock - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Windsock

    Anemometer, weather vane, anemoscope A windsock (a wind cone or wind sleeve) is a conical textile tube that resembles a giant sock . It can be used as a basic indicator of wind speed and direction , or as decoration.
