Description

To obtain timely data for the purpose of air quality assessment, meteorological and climate trend reporting and to meet the requirements for inclusion of the data in provincial and national meteorological databases, a continuous method of measuring Wind Speed and Direction is used. This method is capable of measurement updates at a rate of once every five minutes or faster. Readings from instruments of this method enables the calculation of hourly averaged measurements of Wind Speed and Direction. Commercially available anemometer and vane Wind Speed and Direction sensors are used in the method.
