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
Haar measure nontrivial but the modular function of formula_3 is trivial. The quotient of these cannot be extended to any character of formula_3, so the quotient space formula_114 (which can be thought of as 1-dimensional real projective space) does not have even a semi-invariant measure. Using the general theory of Lebesgue integration, one can then define an integral for all Borel measurable functions formula_84 on formula_3. This integral is called the Haar integral. If formula_11 is a left Haar measure, then for any Haar integrable function formula_84 on formula_3. This is immediate for indicator functions, being essentially the definition of left invariance.
