anemometers
Breeze velocity trackers
Anemometers is the plural of anemometer, a device that measures wind speed.
The most familiar type has rotating cups that spin faster as wind increases.
Anemometers are standard equipment at weather stations, airports, and on ships: The anemometers recorded gusts over sixty miles per hour.
