[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]There are numerous weather conditions in nature around us. The wind is one of the meteorological phenomena that meteorologists consider in their daily forecasts. What exactly is wind? How can wind speed be measured? Do we worry about its direction in addition to its intensity?<\/p>\n

In this expedition, we will look at the concept of wind. How is it formed, what does the term “intensity” mean, how is its speed estimated, and what measurement devices are available? Students construct an anemometer and write software to take readings. Finally, they are able to describe what they have measured and draw valid meteorological judgements about wind intensity and direction.[\/vc_column_text][vc_btn title=”Click here to contact us” style=”3d” color=”pink” size=”lg” align=”center” button_block=”true” link=”url:https%3A%2F%2Fstem.edu.gr%2Fkentra-stem-education%2F|target:_blank|”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_message message_box_color=”turquoise” icon_type=”entypo” icon_entypo=”entypo-icon entypo-icon-star”]
