A. Equipment
1. Gill Microvane & 3 Cup AnemometerThe MicroVane has a balanced aluminum vaneassembly. Vane angle is sensed by a precisionconductive plastic potentiometer. The 3‐CupAnemometer is constructed with UV resistantplastic cups. A sensitive DC generator outputswind speed. The Vane and 3‐Cup Anemometerare attached to a mounting crossarm whichinstalls on standard 1 inch pipe. The 3‐CupAnemometer is also available separately.

• Wind is the flow of gases on a large scale.
• The Prevailing Wind are wind that blow predominantly from single general direction
over a particular point on earth surface.
• The Dominant Wind are the trends in direction of wind with the highest speed over a
particular point on the earth surface
• Gusty Is a sudden, brief increase in speed of the wind. According to U.S. weather
observing practice, gusts are reported when the peak wind speed reaches at least 16
knots and the variation in wind speed between the peaks and lulls is at least 9 knots.
The duration of a gust is usually less than 20 seconds.
