Flux towers are equipped with inlets for «sniffing the air» above the forest, in addition to other instruments such as sonic
anemometers for measuring wind.
Not exact matches
In winter the observers didn't use the
anemometer, an instrument
for measuring wind speed,
for fear it would be damaged by the supercooled water droplets that froze to everything, leaving the observatory caked in windblown ice.
Help students make a
anemometer, or wind scale, using the online directions provided by the Center
for Innovation in Engineering and Science Education.
This covers 8 common weather forecasting tools Weather vanes and wind socks Thermometer Barometer Psychrometer Hygrometer Rain gauge Doppler radar
Anemometer Weather balloon Weather satellite There is a separate page including a detailed description of each of these 10 weather tools that students can read and write a summary
for each tool.
If you have a device
for measuring wind speed (called an
anemometer), you can use the Beaufort Scale to convert speed to force.
Presently, Gartner Lee has applied
for funds from the federal government to build an
anemometer to measure wind.
«Permitted Use»: (1) Installing, operating, maintaining, removing, replacing and collecting data from meteorological towers, stations and
anemometers, conducting avian, archeological and biological assessments, environmental assessments, soil and preconstruction analysis, and other studies and evaluations deemed necessary by Grantee
for purposes of evaluating the Wind Resources of the Premises, exercising the rights granted to Grantee hereunder, and developing the Wind Energy Project; (2) Constructing, installing, operating, accessing, maintaining and removing (including, when necessary, replacing)(a) WTGs on WTG Pads on the Premises
for the conversion of Wind Resources to electricity, and including replacing WTGs
for purposes of repowering
for conversion of Wind Resources to electricity on WTG Pads located on the Premises and / or in connection or conjunction with other real property on which the Wind Energy Project is located; and (b) all related Improvements (i) necessary or convenient to Grantee in conjunction with WTGs
for the Wind Energy Project (ii)
for the use by Grantee in collecting, transmitting or otherwise making electricity from the WTGs on the Wind Energy Project marketable and available
for sale; or (iii)
for the use by Grantee
for access to and from the Improvements or a public right of way to the WTGs
for the Wind Energy Project (in each case, whether or not such WTGs are on the Premises), or (3) uses otherwise permitted herein.
However those who are recording wind speeds with ground based
anemometers (like me in my house
for example) are impacted mainly by what happens at the bottom few km.
For example, if the wind speed gauge on one wind turbine fails — say, because it becomes encased in ice — the turbine can use data from a nearby turbine's anemometer (with algorithms for correcting for the different locations of the turbines), eliminating the need to shut do
