Anemometer have accurate wind data under all conditions, including freezing precipitation. Anemometry is also required in monitoring and controlling the operation of wind turbines, which in cold environments are prone to in-cloud icing. Icing alters the aerodynamics of an anemometer and may entirely block it from operating. Therefore, anemometers used in these applications must be internally heated. Both cup anemometers and sonic anemometers are presently available with heated versions. In order for wind speeds to be comparable from location to location, the effect of the terrain needs to be considered, especially in regard to height. Other considerations are the presence of
Cylinder set measure "γ" is the standard Gaussian measure on R. The canonical Gaussian cylinder set measure on an infinite-dimensional separable Hilbert space "H" does not correspond to a true measure on "H". The proof is quite simple: the ball of radius "r" (and center 0) has measure at most equal to that of the ball of radius "r" in an "n"-dimensional Hilbert space, and this tends to 0 as "n" tends to infinity. So the ball of radius "r" has measure 0; as the Hilbert space is a countable union of such balls it also has measure 0, which is a contradiction.
