A Method for the Instantaneous Determination of the Velocity and Direction of the Wind (open access)

A Method for the Instantaneous Determination of the Velocity and Direction of the Wind

The laboratory instruments, which we often constructed with makeshift means, gave encouraging results and showed that they could satisfactorily meet the required conditions. By limiting ourselves to the employment of hot wires of 0.05 mm (0.002 in.) diameter, we obtained instruments which faithfully followed all the wind fluctuations of over 0.1 second and even much more rapid variations without any very great error.
