Answer 3

by anemometer which is usually mounted on the roof of the weather stations.mph or km/h depending on the country u are.

Answer 4

wind speed is measured in knots per hour using an anemometer or the Beaufort scale :)

wind direction is measured with a wind vane just using "north south east west, north west etc..

hope i helped :D x

Answer 5

mph

Answer 6

its measured in mph/kmph. with one of them things that spins round. cant remember wat u call it

Answer 7

An anemometer is a device for measuring wind speed, and is one instrument used in a weather station. The term is derived from the Greek word, anemos, meaning wind. The first anemometer was invented by Leon Battista Alberti.

Anemometers can be divided into two classes: those that measure the velocity of the wind, and those that measure the pressure of the wind, but as there is a close connection between the pressure and the velocity, a suitable anemometer of either class will give information about both these quantities.

Answer 8

anemometer and wind socks...

Answer 9

Using the Beaufort scale, which measures wind on a scale of 1-12. Wind speed can be measured using an anemometer

Answer 10

i'm not sure but i think that wind is measured in knots,  ?????

Answer 11

In MPH.

Answer 12

Wind is measured using an anemometer and it is measured differently depending on where you are. It's usually MP/h or KM/h for civilian weather forecasting and Knots for shipping and aircraft, I think.

Answer 13

You measure wind with an Anemometer.  There are different kinds of Anemometer, some measure the velocity of the wind which is the speed and direction, and others just measure the speed of the wind.

Answer 14

meteorologists use an anemometer
