Term · Chemistry · MLC-T-CHM-001354

A meteorological instrument designed to measure both horizontal and vertical components of wind velocity. It consists of a wind vane that can pivot around two perpendicular axes, allowing it to respond to changes in wind direction in three dimensions. This device provides detailed information about atmospheric turbulence and air movement patterns.
