The anemometer is a device used to measure wind speed and pressure. Whether it is a vane or pocket anemometer, with blades or thermal, this equipment is useful both to meteorologists and golfers, as well as extreme sports enthusiasts like kitesurfers or hang gliders.
Different people use the anemometer to measure wind:
- meteorologists;
- aviation and maritime transport professionals;
- construction professionals;
- farmers, especially vintners and horticulturists;
- kitesurfing, windsurfing, or catamaran enthusiasts;
- skiers, hang gliding or kite enthusiasts;
- golfers, mountaineers, or hikers.
Vane anemometers are characterized by:
- their fixed use;
- their precision thanks to the analysis of multiple data;
- their height placement (on the roof, on a boat structure, etc.);
- their range varying from 100 m to 300 m;
- their operation using a weather station or an app (for connected devices) to collect data.
Pocket anemometers with blades are characterized by:
- their small size allowing for easy transportation;
- their propellers rotating to measure wind speed;
- their additional features allowing for temperature, humidity, and volumetric capacity measurement;
- their internal memory allowing for data recording.
Thermal anemometers are an alternative:
- they are equipped with a very thin wire or a heated element that is cooled by the wind, allowing for speed measurement;
- hot-wire models are often used to measure turbulence;
- devices that measure both speed and temperature are preferred in wind tunnels.
Thus, the choice of an anemometer primarily depends on its future use and the features the user needs.
