Do you use a hydrometer to measure wind speed?

To measure wind speed you use an anemometer. These are sometimes called wind meters. Meteorologists use anemometers to help predict weather.


What does a wind vine measure?

A wind vane measures wind direction, however if you are seeking speed of the wind, you would also use an anemometer. The weather stations today would normally have both the wind vane and the anemometer.


What instrument is used to measure the amount of wind?

There really isn't something to measure the amount of wind, I believe that you are referring to wind speed and direction. The instruments that are used to measure wind speed is the anemometer. Also, for wind direction, we would use a wind vane. You can feel the direction of wind.... I guess humans are like one giant wind vane!


What scientific method is used to measure wind?

When we are measuring wind there are 2 things that are measured. Those 2 things would be the wind direction and the wind speed.Wind direction we measure with a instrument we call a wind vane, when we measure the wind we can say 1 of 2 things (depending on your style, both ways are correct). The first way is to measure the direction the wind is coming out of. For example, when we say we have a "north wind", we are technically saying the wind is coming out of the north. The second way is the measure the direction it is blowing. Using the wind from above, a north wind would be blowing south.Wind speed we measure with a instrument we call a anemometer, we can use any of the speed units (MPH, KMPH, or Knots). Many meteorologists in the United States use Miles Per Hour for their speed unit, and ships out at sea use the unit Knots.


Different instrument use in measuring the wind?

We can use wind socks and wind vanes to evaluate the wind direction and anemometers to measure the wind speed.


Whts the instrument you use to measure wind?

Anemometer is the instrument used to measure wind speed and direction.


Why the anemometer is important?

The reason the anemometer is so important is because you use it to measure the velocity of the wind and to measure pressure of the wind ----


What is the instrument that you use to measure wind?

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


Would you use wind or wind energy?

I would use both. One to blow wind for my wind energy


What do metorologist use an anemometer for?
