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 ...

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 ...

Building and operating offshore wind farms is an expensive business. To be able to estimate the profitability of the plants, first the wind potential must be determined. Researchers have now created a ...

Engineers used to rely on meteorological towers to measure wind speed. But “met towers” only give you data for one location; they don’t tell you anything about wind velocities around a valley or along ...

The planet Mars has several similarities with Earth, including extinct volcanoes, dry lake beds, and active dust storms, the last of which is governed by the Red Planet’s prevailing winds. However, ...

“We Don’t Make Drones. We Make Drones Work,” according to drone company Measure’s website. You’d be forgiven if your takeaway here is that while the company doesn’t manufacture drones, but they do ...

CINCINNATI (WKRC) - On days like this when the wind chill get to sub-freezing temperatures, it's not really the air temperature that is the issue, it's the wind. And how meteorologists measure the ...

As an arctic air mass lingers over large swaths of the Northeast and Midwest, the National Weather Service has issued wind chill advisories across the region, and the Mount Washington Observatory in ...

Bucknell University Professor Katelyn Allers, physics & astronomy, is publishing the first measurement of atmospheric wind speed outside the solar system using a new technique she developed. Her study ...

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 ...

"Wind turbines oscillate with displacements of up to a meter in magnitude, even at normal wind speeds. This represents a large load for the material, which can lead to damage and worst case to failure ...
