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 ...

Wind speed measurement has long been a cornerstone of meteorological observation, renewable energy assessment and aeronautical research. The performance of anemometers—devices designed to accurately ...

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 ...

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 ...

Houston is quite familiar with tropical cyclones. Within the past couple of years, we have seen multiple systems affect our area, such as Hurricanes Beryl and Harvey, along with tropical storms like ...

Martian landers have been able capture measurements of wind speeds -- some gauging the cooling rate of heated materials when winds blow over them, others using cameras to image 'tell-tales' that blow ...

Not quite planets and not quite stars, brown dwarfs are cosmic in-betweeners. Learning about their atmospheres could help us understand giant planets around other stars. For the first time, scientists ...

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?

Using the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA), in which the European Southern Observatory (ESO) is a partner, a team of astronomers have directly measured winds in Jupiter’s middle ...
