A method of measuring wind velocities by a dual beam modification to conventional (non-Doppler) radars is described. The two beams are disposed slightly to either side of the antenna bore-sight axis.

Wind speed measurement has long been a cornerstone of meteorological observation, renewable energy assessment and aeronautical research. The performance of anemometers—devices designed to accurately ...

The error in horizontal wind field measurements as computed from the trajectory of balloons with linear and quadratic rise rates (as functions of altitude) has been ...

If you're looking for wind energy, the sweetest breezes blow over the open sea. But gathering this energy is risky business, as the strength of offshore winds can easily overwhelm a turbine designed ...

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 ...

Building and operating offshore wind farms is an expensive business. To be able to estimate the profitability of the plants, first the wind potential must be determined. Researchers have now created a ...

OSLO, Norway (26 June 2024) – TGS, a global provider of energy data and intelligence, has announced a new campaign for offshore wind and metocean measurement located in Morro Bay, off the U.S. West ...

“We Don’t Make Drones. We Make Drones Work,” according to drone company Measure’s website. You’d be forgiven if your takeaway here is that while the company doesn’t manufacture drones, but they do ...

The WeatherFlow Wind Meter and its android and iOS apps not only measures wind speed, it also logs measurements and supports sharing at a very low price. There are many situations in which it’s ...
