Anyone know how to calculate windspeed ?

AI Thread Summary
To calculate wind speed using data from an anemometer, there isn't a specific formula that incorporates updraft, downdraft, and wind direction directly. The relationship between these variables is complex, and wind speed is typically measured rather than calculated from other factors. The Yamartino Method mentioned may not provide the clarity needed for this specific calculation. The discussion highlights the challenge of deriving wind speed from related atmospheric conditions. Ultimately, wind speed is best obtained directly from the sensor rather than through derived calculations.

Here is my question...

I had set up a wind speed and wind direction sensor ( Anemometer )
but I would like to have all the data in excel spread sheet by using a formula to calculate the data and be able to insert my own number without using data from the sensor give me.

What formula should I use ?

I would like to know how are these data related to each other ?

Up draft, Down draft, Wind speed, Wind direction

Some people told me to use Yamartino Method but I'm still lost T_T

What formula should I use ?

Thank you :!)

If I understand you correctly, you want a formula to calculate the wind speed (title of this thread) using the "data" of up draft, down draft and wind direction. I don't think such formula exists. It's looking for a formula to calculate the speed of the car if you know whether it's going uphill or downhill and in what compass heading.
 

Thread 'Is calling fictitious forces "not real" just about terminology?'

Hi there, im studying nanoscience at the university in Basel. Today I looked at the topic of intertial and non-inertial reference frames and the existence of fictitious forces. I understand that you call forces real in physics if they appear in interplay. Meaning that a force is real when there is the "actio" partner to the "reactio" partner. If this condition is not satisfied the force is not real. I also understand that if you specifically look at non-inertial reference frames you can...

Thread 'Derivation of Hamilton's Principle: Questions'

I have recently been really interested in the derivation of Hamiltons Principle. On my research I found that with the term ##m \cdot \frac{d}{dt} (\frac{dr}{dt} \cdot \delta r) = 0## (1) one may derivate ##\delta \int (T - V) dt = 0## (2). The derivation itself I understood quiet good, but what I don't understand is where the equation (1) came from, because in my research it was just given and not derived from anywhere. Does anybody know where (1) comes from or why from it the...
