Les stations d’anémométrie […] comprennent essentiellement : – au moins trois niveaux de mesure, h1, h2 et h3, de la vitesse du vent équipés chacun d’un anémomètre du type Robinson (préférablement étalonné) qui mesure la vitesse instantanée du vent, échantillonnée et numérisée à une cadence comprise entre 0,5 et 2 Hz. Ces anémomètres sont portés par un mât haubané jusqu’à 60 m de hauteur. […] – au moins deux niveaux de mesure de la direction du vent équipés chacun d’une girouette (préférablement étalonnée) qui mesure la direction du vent, échantillonnée et numérisée à une cadence comprise entre 0,5 et 2 Hz; – des capteurs de température et de pression qui permettront de calculer à chaque instant la masse volumique de l’air. L’ensemble des mesures est stocké sur place sur des supports informatiques. 1, record 1, French, - station%20d%26rsquo%3Ban%C3%A9mom%C3%A9trie
