Wind Direction Detector

A Wind Direction Detector is a device used in meteorology to measure the direction from which the wind is blowing. It is typically a mechanical instrument that consists of a vane or a windsock that rotates or moves in response to the wind's direction. The movement of the vane or windsock is then recorded or displayed on a dial or indicator, allowing meteorologists or weather enthusiasts to determine the wind direction accurately.

Wind Direction Detectors are commonly used in weather stations, airports, and other locations where accurate wind information is essential. They are often mounted on tall poles or towers to ensure that they are not affected by obstructions on the ground.

Instruments in the supply class Meteorological Instruments And Apparatus are designed specifically for measuring and monitoring weather conditions. They include various devices such as anemometers (for measuring wind speed), barometers (for measuring atmospheric pressure), hygrometers (for measuring humidity), and thermometers (for measuring temperature). These instruments are crucial for gathering data used in weather forecasting, climate studies, and other meteorological applications.

The supply group Instruments And Laboratory Equipment encompasses a wide range of instruments used in scientific research, experimentation, and analysis. It includes equipment used in various fields such as physics, chemistry, biology, geology, and engineering. These instruments are designed to facilitate accurate measurements, observations, and experiments in laboratory settings.

In summary, a Wind Direction Detector is a specific instrument within the supply class Meteorological Instruments And Apparatus, which falls under the broader supply group Instruments And Laboratory Equipment.
