The anemometer counts the number of rotations, which is used to calculate wind speed. An anemometer is an instrument that measures wind speed and wind pressure. Anemometers are important tools for meteorologists, who study weather patterns. They are also important to the work of physicists, who study the way air moves.
The four most popular anemometer models are: Vane Anemometers, Thermal Anemometers, Thermal Anemometers with Velocity / Temperature Profiling and Cup Anemometers. Anemometers are usually classified as constant-temperature, or constant-power anemometers.
Sometimes called wind speed or air speed meters, anemometers are generally classified as hot wire or vane. The hot wire anemometer is best for accurately measuring air flow at very low velocities (eg., under 2000 ft/min).
Wind speed is normally measured by a cup anemometer consisting of three or four cups, conical or hemispherical in shape, mounted symmetrically about a vertical spindle. The wind blowing into the cups causes the spindle to rotate.
The speed of that wind can be measured using a tool called an anemometer. An anemometer looks like a weather vane, but instead of measuring which direction the wind is blowing with pointers, it has four cups so that it can more accurately measure wind speed.
