Anemogram

/əˈnɛməɡræm/ noun

Definition

A graphical record or chart produced by an anemograph showing wind speed and direction changes over time.

Etymology

From Greek 'anemo-' (wind) + '-gram' (record/recording). The instrument-recording pattern parallels similar scientific terms like 'seismogram' and 'electrocardiogram'.

Kelly Says

Meteorologists read anemograms like doctors read heartbeats—the patterns reveal wind patterns that predict weather, help engineers design buildings, and guide pilots during landing.
