Anemoscope
Definition
A meteorological instrument or device used to indicate the direction from which the wind is blowing, without measuring its speed. Structurally, it often consists of a mobile weather vane mounted on a vertical axis that aligns aerodynamically with the air current, providing an immediate visual representation of local atmospheric circulation.
