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 ...

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?

This fall, NASA scientist Kris Bedka flew into Hurricane Helene to test a device that uses lasers to create ultradetailed wind measurements. It could be the key to unlocking better storm predictions.

Hong Kong University of Science and Technology (HKUST) start-up Stellerus Technology aims to be the world's first provider of satellite-enabled three-dimensional wind data to help wind power, ...

It’s gathering “extremely precise” wind measurements using an instrument that sends out 200 laser pulses per second from an aircraft. By documenting how those pulses bounce off aerosol particles, NASA ...

Winds are always named for the direction from which they blow. The best way to picture this is to stand so the wind is blowing into your face. The direction you are facing names the wind direction. A ...

When looking at a surf forecast, there are several key factors to take into consideration, including swell direction, swell height, tide times, wind speed and wind direction. If you can understand ...

The wind has a big impact on our temperatures...especially in the spring and fall. I am going to show you a chart that shows the frequency of wind speed and direction during a specific time at a ...
