Anemometer

An anemometer (from the Greek word "anemos" meaning wind), is a device for measuring either the velocity or the pressure of the wind, and is one of the instruments found in a weather station.

Anemometers may be divided into two classes, (1) those that measure the velocity, (2) those that measure the pressure of the wind, but inasmuch as there is a close connection between the pressure and the velocity, a suitable anemometer of either class will give information about both these quantities.
