What are wind speed sensors (anemometers)?
Anemometers are instruments and sensors which measure the speed of the wind. Modern anemometers usually use cups mounted on a spindle to ‘capture’ the wind, the speed at which the spindle rotates is directly related to the wind speed. Another form of anemometer utilises ultrasonic pulses to determine the wind speed and direction, these are considered a ‘solid-state’ instrument i.e. has no moving parts.
Anemometers are used in various industries for a multitude of applications such as weather bureaus to make weather forecasts, wind farms to monitor performance and to shut them off in very high winds, and transport organisations to help inform whether or not to close bridges or high roads in extremely windy conditions.
