Sonic Anemometer News Today

Were incredibly high. the old battery is 80 metres above sea level. that wind is coming straight from the english channel, whizzing up the headland and then across and down, funnelling down into the solent and across the rest of the island. and this is what annette is talking about — a south—westerly wind has an unbroken path over hundreds of miles of open water, over which it blows towards the needles. then, when the wind hits the cliff underneath the weather station, it accelerates upwards...

Miles an hour. ive had a gust nearer 44 miles an hour. and this is a cup anemometer. in fact, its the same technology as at that weather station at the old battery down there. the wind blows into the cup, spins it around on the spindle, and from that, you get just how windy it is. now, its windier the higher up you go in the atmosphere, theres less friction to slow the air down — that is what the land surface does — so, actually, the uks strongest wind gust was on cairngorms summit, of 173 m...

They come across the downs and they also visit the needles park down below, and they all want to come up and have a look at the iconic view of the needles. and i suppose the irony is that on an exceptionally windy day here, do you see less in the way of craft out at sea and less people visiting the area, so a quieter day for you? when its — the weather is like today, when it is quite breezy, you get less boats out. its not so pleasant. we all do it for pleasure, boating, so conditions play a b...

At the needles that makes it just so exceptionally windy? were incredibly high. the old battery is 80 metres above sea level. that wind is coming straight from the english channel, whizzing up the headland and then across and down, funnelling down into the solent and across the rest of the island. and this is what annette is talking about — a south—westerly wind has an unbroken path over hundreds of miles of open water, over which it blows towards the needles. then, when the wind hits the cl...

In the way of craft out at sea and less people visiting the area, so a quieter day for you? when its — the weather is like today, when it is quite breezy, you get less boats out. its not so pleasant. we all do it for pleasure, boating, so conditions play a big part of that as well. how windy is it out there today? at the moment, it is blowing a force 6, which is approximately in the mid—20 knots range, so it is quite breezy. thank you, simon. well its nice and warm and cosy inside here, but ...

Metres above sea level. that wind is coming straight from the english channel, whizzing up the headland and then across and down, funnelling down into the solent and across the rest of the island. and this is what annette is talking about — a south—westerly wind has an unbroken path over hundreds of miles of open water, over which it blows towards the needles. then, when the wind hits the cliff underneath the weather station, it accelerates upwards and over it on to the anemometer, producing...

Now, its windier the higher up you go in the atmosphere, theres less friction to slow the air down — that is what the land surface does — so, actually, the uks strongest wind gust was on cairngorms summit, of 173 miles an hour. a cup anemometer like this will probably get blown to pieces with a wind that strong, so you can have a sonic anemometer, which uses the speed of sound waves to judge just how windy it is and from what direction. as clearly windy as it is here today, its incredible to...
