WIND SPEED AND DIRECTION MEASUREMENT IN AERONAUTICAL METEOROLOGY
Abstract
The article presents the description of wind direction and speed measurement at ground meteorological stations. The work contains a detailed description of the methods for wind direction and speed measurement and also a description of the equipment used for measurement of wind direction and speed. The work focuses attention on how the wind affects the air transportation. Attention is devoted to the characterization of the processing of the measurement results and the description of aeronautical meteorological reports, through which information about the wind direction and speed is further presented. The last part deals with chosen instruments that measure wind direction and speed, the description of the technical specifications and financial analysis of acquisition costs.
