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
Pre-measure is called "σ"-additivity. Thus, what is missing for a pre-measure to be a measure is that it is not necessarily defined on a sigma-algebra (or a sigma-ring). It turns out that pre-measures give rise quite naturally to outer measures, which are defined for all subsets of the space "X". More precisely, if "μ" is a pre-measure defined on a ring of subsets "R" of the space "X", then the set function "μ" defined by is an outer measure on "X" and the measure "μ" induced by "μ" on the σ-algebra Σ of Carathéodory-measurable sets satisfies formula_4 for formula_5 (in particular,
