Anemography

/ˌænəˈmɒɡrəfi/ noun

Definition

The science or technique of recording and measuring wind characteristics and movements.

Etymology

From Greek 'anemo-' (wind) + '-graphy' (writing/description/study). This discipline emerged in the 19th century as meteorology developed standardized tools for observation.

Kelly Says

Anemography might sound obscure, but it's the backbone of weather forecasting—by studying wind patterns historically, meteorologists predict future storms with increasing accuracy.
