How to Measure the Speed of Wind

The video tutorial explores the concept of wind speed, its measurement, and its significance. It discusses the use of devices like anemometers and ultrasonic anemometers for measuring wind speed, which is crucial for weather systems, transportation, and plant growth. The tutorial also covers factors affecting wind speed, such as pressure gradients and Rossby waves, and highlights record wind speeds on Earth and an exoplanet.

Explain the significance of measuring wind speed in relation to weather and transportation.

What was the fastest wind speed recorded not related to a tornado, and when did it occur?
