An 'anemometer' measures speed of wind
An 'anemometer' measures speed of wind
You can find out which way the wind is blowing by using a weather vane or by observing the movement of trees, flags or grass. Another option is to use a handheld anemometer to measure wind direction and speed.
You would use the unit of measure called "kilograms" to measure the mass of an elephant.
An anemometer is the tool used to measure wind speed. It consists of cups that rotate in the wind and the speed of rotation is used to calculate the wind speed.
You would use the unit of measurement called "kilograms" or "pounds" to measure the weight of a car.
You would use grams to measure the mass of a sparrow. Kilograms are typically used to measure larger masses.

To measure wind speed you use an anemometer. These are sometimes called wind meters. Meteorologists use anemometers to help predict weather.
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.
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!
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.
We can use wind socks and wind vanes to evaluate the wind direction and anemometers to measure the wind speed.
Anemometer is the instrument used to measure wind speed and direction.
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 ----
The wind direction is measured with wind vanes or wind socks. The wind speed is measured with an anemometer.
I would use both. One to blow wind for my wind energy
To measure the speed of wind.
