What instrument is used to predict wind speed?
A series of barometers can be used to predict wind speed and direction. Wind will move from higher pressure areas to lower pressure areas. The higher the pressure differential the higher the wind speed will be.
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
Does high pressure areas have strong wind speed?
No. Wind in high pressure systems are usually gentle.
When the wind doubles does the pressure in the sails increase 8 times?
When the apparent wind speed is doubled, the pressure on the sail is quadrupled. That is because the pressure on the sail (or the side of your house or a billboard sign) is proportional to the square of the speed of the wind. If the wind speed triples, then the pressure goes up by a factor of nine, because three squared is nine.
What does wind speed do to temperature?
wind speed is more when there is more pressure difference. with increase in temperature at a place the air expands , rises and creates low pressure. if the place near to it has very high pressure compared to the pressure at that place then strong and speed winds blow.
How is wind speed related to pressure differential?
wind speed means how fast wind goes. the more pressure, the faster the wind. :)

What has a bigger effect on wind speed temperature or air pressure?
The bigger affect on wind speed is air pressure.

How do wind sensors work?
An anemometer is a device that provides information on wind speed and wind pressure. Sonic anemometers measure the wind speed and pressure of sonic pulses that exist between pairs of transducers.
What measures wind pressure?
Barometer measures atmospheric pressure Anemometer measures wind speed
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.
Does the weather vane measure wind speed or air pressure?
An anemometer is used to measure
