COMSTOCK PARK, Mich. — Meteorologists all over the world use a wide variety of instruments to measure things like temperature, air pressure, humidity and a host of other variables. In Tuesday's ...

This stretch will be measured and used to calculate the strength of the pressure. VASI will also measure wind speed and direction using a combination of accelerometers and gyroscopes installed in the ...

DAVINCI will send a meter-diameter probe to brave the high temperatures and pressures near Venus’ surface to explore the atmosphere from above the clouds to near the surface of a terrain that may have ...

How fast is the wind blowing where you live? As we see on “Weather Hunters,” meteorologists use a tool called an anemometer to measure wind speed. Anemometers work because they have arms with cup-like ...

Since last fall, NASA scientists have flown an advanced 3D Doppler wind lidar instrument across the United States to collect nearly 100 hours of data—including a flight through a hurricane. The goal?

Drones and similar small unmanned aerial vehicles (sUAVs) have seen a massive surge in popularity over the past few years owing to their innovative applications, such as crop monitoring, search and ...

When we experience extreme weather, such as Storm Floris recently, it's understandable that interest in weather records increases. However, in order to fully understand how records are recorded or ...

GRAND RAPIDS — Meteorologist talk about wind speed all the time but do you know which tool they use to measure it? In today's weather experiment we are going to learn about measuring wind speed with ...

Bucknell University Professor Katelyn Allers, physics & astronomy, is publishing the first measurement of atmospheric wind speed outside the solar system using a new technique she developed. Her study ...
