Drag sphere anemometer

Term · Meteorology and atmospheric science · MLC-T-MET-005128

A type of anemometer that measures wind speed by determining the drag force exerted on a suspended sphere. The sphere's displacement or the force required to keep it stationary indicates the wind's velocity. This instrument provides a direct measure of the dynamic pressure of the wind.
