Anenometer

An anemometer measures wind speed and direction by detecting airflow and converting it into electrical signals for real-time monitoring. On ships, this data is crucial for navigation, maneuvering, and weather observation. Marine anemometers often use ultrasonic sensors or rotating cups to capture wind characteristics accurately, and the information is typically displayed on the bridge and integrated with other systems like ECDIS and autopilot for optimal route planning and safety.
