What is an ananometer?

An anemometer is a device used to measure wind speed and direction. It typically consists of rotating cups or blades that capture the wind's force, allowing for the calculation of wind velocity. Anemometers are commonly used in meteorology, aviation, and various engineering applications to study and monitor atmospheric conditions. There are different types of anemometers, including cup, vane, and hot-wire models, each suited for specific measurement needs.
