Anemometers are an important category of environmental sensor. Articles about their design, data capture, and linearization have comprised topics featured in EDN Design Ideas, several quite recently.

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 ...

All thermal anemometers work by inferring air speed from measurements of thermal impedance (Z) between a heated sensor and the surrounding air: An example of the constant power type can be found in ...

In this model, the raw sensor output is inherently nonlinear with airspeed, a problem common to all thermal airspeed sensors. To compensate, thermal anemometer designs must include some provision for ...

Omega introduces the New WTM-1000 mini bench top wind tunnel. Designed to give cost affective air flow calibration for hot-wire or vane-type anemometers anywhere an on-site calibration is required, ...
