Measuring Wind: Wind Vanes

A wind vane is an instrument that is used to determine the direction the wind is coming from. This can be expressed as:

  • Direction (North, South, etc.)
  • Degrees

This is one of the simplest instruments on a weather station. It uses a single, broad panel that allows the force of the wind to turn it in the correct direction.
