Abstract
To visualize the velocity distribution of the flow over an anemometer tower, tank test is conducted for cylinders resting on a flat plane, thus representing the actual arrangement. It is concluded from the results that the usual installation is far from satisfactory, causing serious errors at times. A remedy is proposed and tested. It is also suitable to weather stations suffering from snow deposit on the anemometer.
