Speed: anemometer.
Direction: wind- or weather-vane, which for accurate readings would have
some form of angle sensor.
The two are sometimes used together as an aerovane.
Another common device is the "wind sock," an orange cloth cone used to indicate
crosswinds at airports and heliports. Within a range of speeds, the cone indicates
wind direction, and it gives a general idea of the wind speed from the inflation of
the cone by the wind.

What instrument measures prevailing wind?
Anemometer is the instrument that measures the prevailing wind speed and direction. It is commonly used in meteorology and weather forecasting to track and analyze wind patterns.
Is a wind vane considered as a wind speed?
A wind vane measures wind direction, not wind speed. It is a device that points in the direction from which the wind is blowing. Wind speed is typically measured using an anemometer.
What is the name of the instrument that measures the wind?
An anemometer is the instrument used to measure wind speed and direction. It typically consists of cups that rotate in the wind, with the rotation speed being proportional to wind speed. Some anemometers also include a vane to measure wind direction.
Does a wind vane measure wind speed?
No, a wind vane is an instrument that measures wind direction, not wind speed. Wind speed is typically measured using an anemometer.
What is the name of the weather instrument used to measure wind?
Anemometer is the name of the weather instrument used to measure wind speed and direction.
What is the name of the wind instrument that measures wind?
An anemometer measures wind speed A wind vane shows the wind direction

What weather instrument measures wind?
The wind direction is measured with wind vanes or wind socks. The wind speed is measured with an anemometer.
How are wind speed and wind direction are measured?
An anemometer measures the wind speed, and a windvan measures wind direction.
What Instrument measures A wind vane?
An anemometer is the instrument that measures wind direction using a wind vane.

Does a wind vane measure wind speed?
No, a wind vane is an instrument that measures wind direction, not wind speed. Wind speed is typically measured using an anemometer.
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.
Instrument that measured wind speed and direction?
The wind direction is measured with wind vanes or wind socks. The wind speed is measured with an anemometer.
What is the name of the weather instrument used to measure wind?
Anemometer is the name of the weather instrument used to measure wind speed and direction.
Is a simple instrument that measures wind direction 2 words?
