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?

Atmospheric scientists have developed an algorithm that uses data from water vapor movements to measure wind. This could help predict extreme events like hurricanes. Wind speed and direction provide ...

Have you ever wondered how an electronic wind vane translates a direction into a unique signal? It seems as though it might be very complicated, and indeed some of them are. [martinm] over at ...

Wind is defined as the horizontal movement of air from one place to another. While low winds are less noticeable, forceful winds during inclement weather are hard to ignore. What causes a lot of wind ...

(Nanowerk News) Neptune, a pioneering system that performs offshore wind measurements, has begun to operate today at the Petroleum Bridge in Badalona. It consists of an eOLOS buoy to measure velocity ...

Whether it's blowing a gale or just a gentle breeze, we've all felt the wind. Wind can come from different places, which can impact the weather we experience. Have you ever felt a freezing gust of ...

Measurement of volcanic gases is critical for both public safety and understanding volcanic activity — and everything we measure relies on the wind. The USGS Hawaiian Volcano Observatory currently ...
