Since last fall, NASA scientists have flown an advanced 3D Doppler wind lidar instrument across the United States to collect nearly 100 hours of data—including a flight through a hurricane. The goal?

Wind speed and direction provide clues for forecasting weather patterns. In fact, wind influences cloud formation by bringing water vapor together. Atmospheric scientists have now found a novel way of ...

Drones and similar small unmanned aerial vehicles (sUAVs) have seen a massive surge in popularity over the past few years owing to their innovative applications, such as crop monitoring, search and ...

Light detection technology helps gauge wind speed and direction. A French start-up company in the Netherlands has developed a small instrument to measure wind speed and direction from the ground up to ...

Atmospheric scientists have developed an algorithm that uses data from water vapor movements to measure wind. This could help predict extreme events like hurricanes. Wind speed and direction provide ...

Catch the Wind has developed a LIDAR system called the Vindicator, that could measure the wind speed and direction up to 1000 metres in front of a wind turbine. This allows enough time for the blades ...

In the marine world, understanding and predicting weather is not just a convenience—it's a necessity. Whether you're managing a research vessel, working aboard a cargo ship, or deploying autonomous ...

Wind is the invisible force we feel on our faces, see rustling through trees, and hear whistling around buildings. But what exactly is wind, and why does it behave the way it does? At its core, wind ...
