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.
An anemometer measures wind speed. On the other hand, a wind vein is used to determine the direction of the wind.
No. A wind vane is an instrument that can tell wind speed but not wind direction.
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.
No, it measures the direction in which its travelling.no it tells you where the wind is coming fromNo. The wind vane would give you wind direction not wind speed.false

The wind direction is measured with wind vanes or wind socks. The wind speed is measured with an anemometer.
An anemometer measures the wind speed, and a windvan measures wind direction.

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.
The wind direction is measured with wind vanes or wind socks. The wind speed is measured with an anemometer.
