Knowing the direction of the wind can be a plus, too. To that end, [Sebastian Sokołowski] built himself an unusual anemometer—a wind gauge—to feed into his smart home system.

The gauge will help monitor wind in Fountain Park and cause pumps to turn off depending on the weather, the town said in a press release Thursday. The fountain can shoot water up to 560 feet high.

Investigators are looking into unconfirmed wind-speed measurements as strong as 212 mph, according to Pat Viets, spokeswoman for the National Weather Service in Silver Spring, Md.

For the long jump and triple jump, the gauge provides the average wind speed over a five-second periods during the jump. For the 110-meter hurdles, an average is calculated over 13 seconds.

By adopting a sensor that uses ultrasonic waves, an additional module for the 'Netatmo Weather Station ' anemometer, which can measure wind speed and direction continuously and without maintenance ...

Currently there haven't been any wind speed gauges (anemometers) that were in the path of the high winds. So the assessment of wind speed is based on estimation from the type of damage.

But he said the wind speed gauge used was 250 metres lower and in an area that was more protected from gales.

Wind speed gauges have been installed on top of the Athlone cooling towers to warn of their possible collapse in strong winds. The City of Cape Town has hired consultants to give advice on how to ...

If the proposals are accepted, a wind speed gauge will be installed in the eastern car park of the stadium for 14 months.
