Martian landers have been able capture measurements of wind speeds -- some gauging the cooling rate of heated materials when winds blow over them, others using cameras to image 'tell-tales' that blow ...

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 ...

Have you ever wondered how an electronic wind vane translates a direction into a unique signal? It seems as though it might be very complicated, and indeed some of them are. [martinm] over at ...

Wind is defined as the horizontal movement of air from one place to another. While low winds are less noticeable, forceful winds during inclement weather are hard to ignore. What causes a lot of wind ...
