Instruments

Anemometer

Supplied Description:

An anemometer is an instrument used to measure wind speed.

Instrument Type

Generic Name: Anemometer

Community Identifier: http://vocab.nerc.ac.uk/collection/L05/current/101/

Generic Description:

An anemometer is a device for measuring the velocity or the pressure of the wind. It is commonly used to measure wind speed. Aboard research vessels, it is often mounted with other meteorological instruments and sensors.

Parameters

Date and time formats are described in python strftime() syntax.
