The Anemometer
What is This
Anemometer is a device used to measure speed and also measure wind direction,
the anemometer is an instrument that is often used by Badan Meteorologi Klimatologi dan
Geofisika (BMKG) for climate and weather analysis. This anemometer was first introduced
by Leon Battista Alberti from Italy in 1450. The general unit of anemometers is knots (1 knot
= 1.85 km/hour). Anemometer is divided into two, anemometer based on the speed and
pressure of the air. Anemometer can also be installed in the ocean and can be used to
measure the height of ocean waves using the principle of wind speed.

3. Jika anemometer portabel sudah hidup maka akan menampilkan beberapa opsi.
7. When you have finished, turn off the anemometer by pressing the OFF button.
Pada saat anemometer tertiup angin, baling-baling atau mangkuk yang terdapat
pada anemometer akan bergerak sesuai arah angin. Makin besar kecepatan angin yang
meniup mangkuk-mangkuk tersebut, maka semakin cepat kecepatan perputaran dari
piringan mangkuk-mangkuk tersebut. Dari jumlah putaran dalam satu detik maka dapat
diketahui berapa kecepatan anginnya. Di dalam anemometer terdapat alat penghitung
jumlah dari putaran mangkuk atau baling-balingnya dalam satuan waktu tertentu,
sehingga dapat diketahui berapa kecepatan anginnya. Hasil yang diperoleh alat akan
dicatat, kemudian dicocokkan dengan Skala Beaufort.
When the anemometer is blown by the wind, the propeller or bowl contained in the
anemometer will move in the direction of the wind. The greater the wind speed that
blows the bowls, the faster the velocity of the bowls of the bowls. From, the number of
revolutions in one second, it can be seen how much the wind speed is. In the
anemometer there is a counter the number of rounds of a bowl or its propeller in a
certain time unit, so that it can know what the wind speed is. The results obtained by the
tool will be recorded, then matched to the Beaufort Scale.
Types of Anemometer
Cup Anemometers
Windmill Anemometers
Bentuk lain dari anemometer adalah bentuk kincir angin atau baling-baling.
Berbentuk panjang vertikal.
Hot-wire Anemometers
Pada anemometer ini menggunakan sinar cahaya dari laser yang yang
terbagi menjadi dua balok, dengan satu disebarkan dari anemometer.
Sonic Anemometers
Dibuat dengan berdasarkan bola ping-pong yang melekat pada kawat. Ketika
angin bertiup, ia menekan dan menggerakan bola, karena bola ping-pong yang
sangat ringan, dapat bergerak dengan mudah bahkan ketika angin yang bertiup
kecil.
Plate Anemometers
Tube Anemometers
Anemometer ini terdiri dari kaca tabung berbentuk U yang berisi cairan
manometer (pengukur tekanan), dengan salah satu ujung membungkuk dalam arah
horizontal agar dapat terpapar oleh angin dan ujung vertikal lainnya tetap sejajar
dengan aliran angin.
Cup Anemometers
A simple anemometer was invented in 1846 by Dr. John Thomas Romney Robinson
of the Armagh Observatory. This anemometer consists of three semicircular cups and
mounted on each horizontal edge. Air flow passes and rotates each horizontal cup
based on the incoming wind.
Windmill Anemometers
Another form of the anemometer is the form of a windmill or propeller. Long vertical.
Hot-wire Anemometers
This anemometer uses a very fine wire that is heated. Air flows through the wire,
causing a cooling effect on the wire.
The anemometer uses a beam of light from a laser which is divided into two beams,
with one diffused from the anemometer.
Sonic Anemometers
First developed in 1950, using ultrasonic sound waves to measure wind speed.
Made on the basis of a ping-pong ball attached to a wire. When the wind blows, it
presses and moves the ball, because the ping-pong ball is very light, it can move
easily even when the wind is blowing small.
Plate Anemometers
It is the first anemometer and uses only a flat plate that is placed on top so that the
wind passes through the disk so that it can know the magnitude of the wind passing
through it.
Tube Anemometers
This anemometer consists of a U-shaped glass tube filled with a liquid manometer
(pressure gauge), with one end bent in the horizontal direction so that it can be
exposed to the wind and the other vertical end remains parallel to the flow of the
wind.
The Operator
Anemometers can be operated by people who have received special training in the
use and operation and processing of their data, there are several types of anemometers that
cannot be operated by people in general, such as the anemometer used on the Automatic
Weather Station (AWS) and also the anemometer BMKG research, while an anemometer
that can be operated by common people is a type of portable digital anemometer, because it
is easy to operate and use.
Data dari anemometer ada yang berbentuk digital dan ada yang berbentuk analog,
tetapi sekarang anemometer yang menghasilkan data berbentuk analog sudah jarang
ditemukan. Sedangkan untuk anemometer digital datanya, biasanya ada yang langsung di
tampilkan dan ada yang harus diolah dan disimpan pada perangkat data logger. Sedangkan
untuk satuannya sendiri biasanya berupa knot, km / jam, m / s.
Data from anemometer is digital and there is analog, but now anemometer which
produces analog data is rarely found. As for digital data anemometers, there are usually
those that are directly displayed and some that must be processed and stored on a data
logger device. Whereas the unit itself is usually in the form of knots, km/hour, m/s.
Usage of Data
Penggunaan data dari anemometer biasanya digunakan untuk kegiatan analisis dan
pengamatan untuk keperluan yang berhubungan dengan meteorologi, klimatologi, serta
penerbangan dan juga maritim. Data pengukuran dari anemometer biasanya dikelola oleh
badan meteorologi klimatologi dan geofisika (BMKG).
The use of data from anemometer is usually used for analysis and observation
activities for purposes related to meteorology, climatology, and flight as well as maritime.
Measurement data from anemometer is usually managed by the Badan Meteorologi
Klimatologi dan Geofisika (BMKG).
