Ultrasonic anemometers have no moving parts but come at the cost of significantly more electronic complexity. They work by measuring the time it takes for an ultrasonic audio pulse to be reflected ...

While the lack of moving parts are nice, ultrasonic anemometers are significantly more complex on the software and electronics side, and a DIY cup and vane anemometer is still a viable alternative.

A new patent from SRAM suggests the brand is developing in-wheel sensors capable of feeding back live tyre pressure readings ...

This is a great weather station, but its less-than-accurate rain gauge leads us to conclude that haptic sensors are not the ...

Inevitably, mistakes happen, Mother Nature intervenes, and balloons go off the prescribed path through New York.

Wind gusts associated with thunderstorms caused some extreme readings on anemometers (wind recording instruments) as well as ...

Not kept standard aboard vessel. MASTS - Roger Revelle has a mainmast, and a jackstaff. The main mast, above the pilot house, carries radar antennas, navigation lights, various antennas, the ship's ...

On Earth, human-built wind tunnels can create supersonic winds, defined as faster than 761.2 mph (1,225 kmh) at sea level.

“That doesn’t automatically mean a weather station is malfunctioning but it provides an alert for someone to review it and, ...

Anemometers and accelerometers were placed to record wind velocities, wind angles, and span movement. Only time would tell how the bridge would do. On February 9, 1938, the bridge passed its first ...

The very human practice of giving names to cyclones, storms and hurricanes – despite the devastation they may wreak – dates back to the 1500s, even though we have only become adept at predicting their ...
