How do you measure the wind?
12 Dec 2016
Just check your handy anemometer. You don’t have one? Then ask an anemometry specialist.
The best place to find one, or two, just happens to be in Iowa. Anemometry Specialists, a wind resource assessment company, is in Alta in the Lakes Corridor area. The firm provides state, national and international clients with wind-related data and project management services. (Here’s more on the company: http://ow.ly/oodt303F9Dx.)
