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 ...

Wind speed and direction provide clues for forecasting weather patterns. In fact, wind influences cloud formation by bringing water vapor together. Atmospheric scientists have now found a novel way of ...

To address the inability of traditional mechanical anemometers to satisfy the demand for high accuracy, real-time measurement, and dynamic monitoring of ventilation parameters in intelligent deep ...

Each week meteorologist Jerry Jackson answers student’s questions in the Atmosphere Academy. This week’s question was asked in a different way than usual, so we’re going to answer it the same way: in ...

Astronomers have used the National Science Foundation's Karl G. Jansky Very Large Array (VLA) and NASA's Spitzer Space Telescope to make the first measurement of wind speed on a brown dwarf -- an ...

Bucknell University Professor Katelyn Allers, physics & astronomy, is publishing the first measurement of atmospheric wind speed outside the solar system using a new technique she developed. Her study ...

Drones and similar small unmanned aerial vehicles (sUAVs) have seen a massive surge in popularity over the past few years owing to their innovative applications, such as crop monitoring, search and ...

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 local wind environment above the bridge deck affects the aerodynamic characteristics of vehicles, thus affecting the driving safety of the bridge deck. Influenced by the mountain topography and ...

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 ...
