Best Answer

Not sure about pressure but wind speed is measured by an ANENOMETER.

You may be able to meaure its pressure by some form of dynamometer (basically a spring-balance) attached to a target-plate of known area. There may also be calculations using speed and barometric pressure.

  • They use An anemometer. It is a device for measuring windspeed, and is a common weather station instrument. The term is derived from the Greek word anemos, meaning wind, and is used to describe any airspeed measurement instrument used in meteorology or aerodynamics.
  • Anemometers can be divided into two classes: those that measure the wind's speed, and those that measure the wind's pressure; but as there is a close connection between the pressure and the speed, an anemometer designed for one will give information about both.
There are two types of anemometers; namely cup and windmill anemometers

Is radiation the instrument used to measure wind speed?

No, a barometer measures air pressure. Though wind is caused by variances in air pressure the direct measurement of wind is done by an anemometeryes


How come wind is only measured in a barometer?

Actually, a barometer is an instrument for measuring air pressure, or atmospheric pressure, but not wind speed or the "pressure" of a wind. This atmospheric pressure is caused by the weight of air above the point of measurement. The instrument that measures wind speed is called an anemometer. Wind direction is indicated by a weather vane.
