| Global Wind Day - 15th June 2023 |
The main purpose of Global wind day
Global wind today is an unofficial holiday it is an annual event
celebrated as world wind day or global wind
day is celebrated to raise awareness among people about the vital role of wind
energy and its potential to alleviate climate change means how to use wind
energy to reduce the flow of heat-trapping greenhouse gas (GHG) into the atmosphere and from a main source like power plants, ocean, factories, farms, forest, and soil.
Wind energy absorbs these gases and makes the climate free of heat-trapping gases
like greenhouse gas. |

Measurement
of wind
There are different types of parameters which is used to measure the speed, directions, and other characteristics of wind. Some of them are listed here! - Anemometer: It is a device that is specially designed to measure the speed of wind.

- Wind Vanes/Weathervanes: This device is used to measure the directions of the wind.
Windsocks: It is a large fabric tubes. Open this tube at both ends one end of this fabric tube is attached to a pole to find out the direction of the win. This
parameter is used mostly at airports to indicate the wind direction and speed of the wind to pilots..png "Global Wind Day - 15th June 2023") |

- Wind Profilers: It is an advanced instrument that is used to measure the vertical profile
of wind speed and wind direction at different altitudes. Particularly this
parameter is used in meteorological stations for research and aviation purpose.
- LIDAR (Light
Detection and Ranging):
LIDAR is a system that emits laser pulses that reflect back after hitting
airborne particles such as dust or aerosols.
- It measures the time it
takes for those pulses to return. By analyzing the returned pulses, it is possible to determine the wind speed and directions at different altitudes using LIDAR,
- Weather Station: Various parameters are used in the weather station like an anemometer, wind vanes, etc. In
weather stations, these parameters are used
to measure wind speed, directions, and other characteristics like temperature,
humidity, and atmospheric pressure.

History of world wind day
- Recent developments
in wind energy technology have been attributed to the industrial revolution.
In the late 19th century, a wind turbine was developed to the19th century, a wind
turbine was developed to generate electricity. In 1888 Charles
F. Brush was the first to construct a wind turbine that could generate
electricity in Cleveland, Ohio, USA. Around
12 kilowatts of power were generated by this 17-meter-diameter turbine.
