Aging Wastewater and Stormwater Infrastructure in the United States: The Need for Investment and Regulatory Compliance

As the population in the United States continues to grow, the demand for clean water is increasing. However, the infrastructure responsible for treating and distributing wastewater and stormwater is aging and struggling to keep up with the demand. The issue is further compounded by the fact that the regulatory compliance requirements for these systems are […]

As an engineer, system operator, or technician responsible for the safety and protection of membrane structures, such as warehouses, storage facilities, it’s crucial to have an effective wind alarm system in place. Using a wind speed measuring instrument helps monitor the wind speed and provide an automatic control to protect the occupants and/or perishable commodities, […]

The anemometer is a wind measuring device that has been around for centuries. The first anemometers were not very accurate, but as technology improved scientists learned what worked best. Today, the most common designs follow two types: the anemometer as a wind vane and anemometer with wind cups. How an Anemometer Works An anemometer measures […]

Automated weather stations are different from typical weather stations in that many of their instruments require little human involvement. They are usually digital and send data online and can be part of a bigger network of weather stations. Because of its accessibility, it is one of the most common types of weather stations. Many meteorology […]

What’s the wind speed right now? How strong is it blowing? If you’re curious about these weather phenomena, you’ll want to learn more about a wind measuring device called the anemometer. Anemometers are instruments used to measure wind speed, and they come in different makes and sizes. Some are small and portable, while others are […]

An anemometer is a device that measures the wind’s properties, like wind speed, direction, and pressure. It’s been around for hundreds of years, with varying levels of accuracy. With advances in technology, today’s high-speed anemometer can be very precise. Anemometers have a wide range of applications in various fields. Some anemometers measure wind power for […]

When you’re looking at real-time wind readings, it’s important to understand the proper measurement of wind speed. You may assume that wind gusts are causing fluctuations in the numbers, but that’s not always the case. Even constant wind might turn up as spikes in the wind speed and direction indicator. Let’s discuss what may cause […]

The wind vane dates back to ancient Greece and China. According to historians, the first documented reference was to one mounted on the top of the Tower of the Winds located in Athens. Since then, experts have completely transformed both the wind vane and anemometer. If you’re interested in this type of weather device, you […]
