a tool used to measure the speed of wind
No, it does not.

An anemometer measures wind speed.

The wind controls the speed of rotation of the arms of an anemometer and this can be electrically converted to a measuring pointer to indicate wind speed.
An anamometer is usually a set of 3 cups that are rotated by the wind and measure the wind speed by equating it with speed of rotation.
An anemometer is the easiest and best way. To tell how fast the speed is using an anemometer, determine how fast the anemometer is spinning with a speedometer if possible.
Stevenson Screen measures temperature (in shaded white box) rain gauge measures rainfall/precipitation barometer measures atmospheric pressure anomometer measures wind speed wind vane measures wind direction Campbell Stokes Recorder measures sunshine hours in each day Hygrometer measures humidity and temperature (moisture in air)
Homemade Anemometer v professional one? The main difference will be accuracy, closely followed by durability and then aesthetics. The accuracy can be improved by calibrating it with a reliable known source. You could try sticking it out of a car window and move at different speeds. The accuracy could be affected by slipstream past the car and how accurate is the car's speedo. Check it against a satnav and make sure you pick a flat calm day, with no other wind.
Some of the common instruments found in a weather station include; a barometer, an anemometer, a thermometer, and a hygrometer. A weather station is basically a compilation of weather-measuring instruments placed on the same place.
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.
