COMSTOCK PARK, Mich. — Meteorologists all over the world use a wide variety of instruments to measure things like temperature, air pressure, humidity and a host of other variables. In Tuesday's ...

Engineers used to rely on meteorological towers to measure wind speed. But “met towers” only give you data for one location; they don’t tell you anything about wind velocities around a valley or along ...

As an arctic air mass lingers over large swaths of the Northeast and Midwest, the National Weather Service has issued wind chill advisories across the region, and the Mount Washington Observatory in ...

Atmospheric scientists have developed an algorithm that uses data from water vapor movements to measure wind. This could help predict extreme events like hurricanes. Wind speed and direction provide ...

The planet Mars has several similarities with Earth, including extinct volcanoes, dry lake beds, and active dust storms, the last of which is governed by the Red Planet’s prevailing winds. However, ...

Don't feel bad if you don't know what an anemometer is. Most people can barely pronounce the word. Nonetheless, anemometers, which measure wind speed, are important scientific instruments, especially ...

Your jaw would likely drop to the floor if you heard the meteorologist on your local news say that tomorrow’s wind speeds could reach 1,450 miles per hour. Say goodbye to your home, car and your ...

The Army wants mini wind-detectors to help snipers measure crosswinds as far as 1,500 meters away, contracting documents reveal. These electronic devices could serve as aids to help snipers fire on ...

"Wind turbines oscillate with displacements of up to a meter in magnitude, even at normal wind speeds. This represents a large load for the material, which can lead to damage and worst case to failure ...

Measurement of volcanic gases is critical for both public safety and understanding volcanic activity — and everything we measure relies on the wind. The USGS Hawaiian Volcano Observatory currently ...
