VEERING AND BACKING WIND DEFINED. A veering wind is a wind that turns clockwise with height. An example of a veering wind would be a southeast wind at the surface and a west wind at 700 millibars. The wind turns in the same direction as a clock from the surface to 700 millibars.
A windmill anemometer is a common instrument used at weather stations to obtain the wind speed. A wind vane is used as part of the anemometer to determine the wind's direction. As the wind flows over the windmill, the speed and direction of the wind can be measured with this instrument. Some scientific anemometers use the speed of sound to measure the wind speed more precisely in three dimensions.
