Anemoscope
Term · Meteorology and atmospheric science · MLC-T-MET-003499
A simple instrument that indicates the direction of the wind. Unlike a wind vane, which physically points into the wind, an anemoscope often uses a dial or other visual indicator to show the direction. Early forms of this device were used for basic wind observation before more sophisticated instruments became common.
