Hot-Wire Anemometer for Laboratory and Field Use
Lloyd J. Anderson · Bulletin of the American Meteorological Society · 1959
A simple instrument is described for measuring or recording wind speed, using a 1-in. length of heated platinum wire as the sensing element. As a practical laboratory and field device, its main virtues are its excellent response at low wind speeds and its utility in confined spaces. Calibration techniques are described, and the circuit diagram is included for a three-range instrument.
