How do you determine wind speed and direction on a synoptic chart?

There is a horizontal line sort-of-thing on each of the main cities/towns of the chart and on each line an additional vertical line(s) is present. The more vertical lines there are on the horizontal line the faster the wind speed. A legend will be provided.
The vertical lines are at a slight angle and lean more towards one side. The side the vertical line leans more to is the direction the wind is coming from.

What instrument measures prevailing wind?
An anemometer measures wind speed. On the other hand, a wind vein is used to determine the direction of the wind.
Why do meteorologists use an anemometer?
An anomometeris important because if a metoroligist didn't have anomometers they wouldn't have known how hard the wind is blowing and in what direction. So a anomometer measures the wind speed and what direction it's going in.
How do the ocean influence wind speed and direction?
The ocean does not influence wind speed and direction. The currents in the ocean are caused by wind speed and direction. The tides in the ocean are influenced by the phases of the moon.
Two ways to determine wave speed?
you can determine it by the wavelenght and the period of the wave and the frequencey
What was yesterdays wind speed and direction for devizes?
Its was shutup
What factors determine velocity of stream?
Speed and direction determine velocity
What must be included when reporting an objects velocity-?
Speed and direction of motion are needed to determine velocity.
What device is used to determine the direction and wind speed of a tornado?
The speed and direction of a tornado can be determined using Doppler radar by measuring how far the tornado moves between sweeps and in what direction.
What three things must you know to determine velocity?
Just speed & direction.
What are two things that determine the size of the electric current inducted?
Speed & direction of the magnetic field.
What two factors must be known to determine the velocity of an object in motion?
The object's speed and direction.
What is a limitation of a model of the solar system using styrofoam balls?
model limitations: · You are unable to determine the size of the planets · You are unable to measure the length between each planet · You can not determine the speed which the planet is rotating at · You can not determine the speed that the planet is travelling around the sun · You are unable to determine the direction that the planet is turning · You are unable to determine the direction the planet is going around the sun · You can not measure the axis that the planet is leaning on
When a storm is moving at 15 kilometers per hour so what do you need to determine it's velocity?
Velocity= a speed and a direction The speed is 15 km/hr You still need a direction to make a velocity.
How do you determine velocity using a position-time graph?
You can't determine velocity from that graph, because the graph tells you nothing about the direction of the motion. But you can determine the speed. The speed at any moment is the slope of a line that's tangent to the graph at that moment.
What does the chart tell you about the speed?
Chart? There is no chart. Your question makes no sense.
What determines the terminal velocity of an object?
Gravity and drag. Gravity accelerates the object and drag (caused by friction) slows it down. When the full effect of these two forces have been applied to an object, that object is said to have reached terminal velocity. A combination of mass, the size of the leading surface area and the shape of the object determine it's velocity. Example: A man with a closed parachute falls faster than a man with an open parachute.
Which information is needed to determine how fast a truck is traveling?
speed and time
