An anemometer is a device used for measuring wind speed and direction it is also a common weather station instrument.
The device i meant is something like this pitot.
More advanced weather meters like the kestrel 5500 track nearly 20 different weather parameters and can record the data for later analysis.
The term is derived from the greek word anemos which means wind and is used to describe any wind speed instrument used in meteorology the first known description of an anemometer was given by leon battista alberti in 1450.
