Anemometer 

An anemometer is a device used for measuring wind speed and direction. 
An anemometer is an instrument used to measure the speed of the wind, which is a common weather station instrument, or to calculate any form of current gas.
The basic classification of anemometers depends on the measurement of the velocity of wind and the measurement of the pressure of the wind. The 5 major types of anemometer are
  • Cup anemometer
  • Hotwire anemometer
  • Windmill anemometer
  • Laser Doppler anemometer
  • Sonic anemometer
The anemometer definition is a device used to measure wind speed. Anemometers report wind speed in miles per hour (mph), kilometers per hour (kph), meters per second (m/s), or knots. Anemometers measure wind speed by the amount of wind pressure against a surface, such as a cup or a propeller, or by using sonic pulses. A mechanical anemometer contains a wheel with cups or a propeller at the end of the spokes of the wheel. One of them contains a magnet.  Each time the magnet passes a switch, it makes a recording.  This can give an extremely accurate reading of the wind speed. An anemometer is used to measure the speed of the wind and the direction of the wind. We can define an anemometer as it is a device that measures the speed, pressure, and direction of the wind or it is the instrument to measure the wind speed. It counts the number of rotations of cups to calculate the speed of the wind. 
Cup anemometer It is also known as the Robinson cup anemometer. It consists of three or four cups that are attached to the horizontal pole. As the wind starts, cups start to spin and count the speed of wind which displays on the digital screen. It is composed of, so we can easily hold it in our hand and also it is mounted on the buildings or sailboats. Wind speed is measured with the anemometer.
