Anemometer Lind was not the first it was the most practical and best known anemometer of this type. If the wind blows into the mouth of a tube it causes an increase of pressure on one side of the manometer. The wind over the open end of a vertical tube causes little change in pressure on the other side of the manometer. The resulting elevation difference in the two legs of the U tube is an indication of the wind speed. However, an accurate measurement requires that the wind speed be directly into the open end of the tube; small departures
Content (measure theory) by This is an outer measure, in other words it has the following properties: The function μ above is an outer measure on the family of all subsets. Therefore it becomes a measure when restricted to the measurable subsets for the outer measure, which are the subsets "E" such that μ("X") = μ("X"∩"E") + μ("X"\"E") for all subsets "X". If the space is locally compact then every open set is measurable for this measure. The measure μ does not necessarily coincide with the content λ on compact sets, However it does if λ is regular in the sense that for
