There are many ways to determine which direction the wind is blowing. Some prefer to lick their finger and hold it up in the air. At the One Energy office, we like to look out of our windows to see how the North Findlay Wind Campus turbines are facing. But we also employ more scientific methods to study wind direction and speed, which require wind instruments like the anemometer and wind vane pictured in today’s Wind View!
These instruments collect data on wind speed and direction so we can model weather patterns over a few hours, months, or years. You can learn more by watching our Science Shorts video about OE’s weather station, as well as the episode titled “How Wind Instruments Work.”
