Weather stations are a popular project for experimenting with various environmental sensors, and for wind speed and direction the choice is usually a simple cup anemometer and wind vane. For [Jianjia ...

If you are interested in creating a DIY Arduino wind speed meter or anemometer to monitor the wind strength in your location, you might be interested in this quick tutorial I have put together to ...

This self-heated constant-temperature-delta transistor anemometer is cheap, rugged, and sensitive. It relies on the relationship between airspeed (AF) and thermal impedance (ZT = o C/W) of a heated ...

Anemometers are an important category of environmental sensor. Articles about their design, data capture, and linearization have comprised topics featured in EDN Design Ideas, several quite recently.

Thermistors use a thermally active resistor made of metal oxides encased in epoxy or glass. The resistance output varies based on temperature. A more accurate thermister will vary linearly throughout ...

Above: The Mount Washington Observatory on an icy winter day. It was here that a wind gust of 231 mph was measured on April 12, 1934. It remained the highest-ever anemometer-measured wind gust on ...

IN the Hydrographic Review, 12, No. 1, Dr. J. N. Carruthers describes a suggested totalising anemometer for oceanographers, the records of which he considers likely to be of value in climatology.
