Anemometer Anemometer An anemometer is a device used for measuring wind speed, and is also a common weather station instrument. The term is derived from the Greek word "anemos", which means wind, and is used to describe any wind speed instrument used in meteorology. The first known description of an anemometer was given by Leon Battista Alberti in 1450. The anemometer has changed little since its development in the 15th century. Leon Battista Alberti (1404–1472) is said to have invented the first mechanical anemometer around 1450. In following centuries, numerous others, including Robert Hooke (1635–1703), developed their own versions, with some
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.
