The discovery of anemometer was first made by Leon Battista Alberti in 1450. It was only a mechanical anemometer however now technically advanced instruments are available. Anemometer is scientific equipment which is used to measure the force, speed and direction of the wind. Apart from weather forecasting, they can be also installed in the extreme and unapproachable areas such as mines, tunnels, ventilation systems and sometimes even the aerial navigation system. Lutron is a popular brand known for selling high quality anemometers used in many Meteorology and Geophysics Agencies.
Anemometers are classified into two categories. Firstly, instruments which are used to measure wind's speed, and secondly those used to calculate precisely the wind's pressure. However, there is a connection between both wind pressure as well as wind speed, so many of these instruments are generally designed to calculate both the factors.
LM-8010, AM-4100G and YK-80 AM are three popular products manufactured by Lutron available globally in an affordable price range. They are built with ultrasonic technology and have no extra moving parts. This instrument provides a quick response and helps the users to see results with higher resolution and accuracy.
