The speed of an airplane is measured by a system known as the pitot-static system which compares the difference between the static air pressure that exists around the aircraft and the dynamic, or ram air pressure which is a function of the speed the aircraft is moving through the air. The devices used to gather this information are the static air port (which measures static air pressure) and the pitot tube (which measures ram air pressure). This differential is displayed on an instrument in the cockpit called an airspeed indicator (or ASI).

What instrument is used to measure wind chill?
Wind chill is the calculation of the temp. and the wind speed.
What are the disadvantages of an anemometer which is a meteorological instrument?
An anemometer is used to measure the speed of the wind. The main disadvantage is the distortion of wind speed in relation to precipitation.
What instrument used in wind?
To measure the direction of wind, a wind vane can be an ideal tool. A windsock can also be used to measure the direction and strength of the wind.
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
