The measurement and study of wind speed, direction, and patterns.
From Greek 'anemos' (wind) + 'metron' (measure) + '-y' (a noun-forming suffix). Emerged as a scientific discipline in the 17th-18th centuries as weather study became more precise.
Modern wind turbine engineers are anemometry experts—they spend months measuring wind patterns at potential sites because just one poor location choice wastes millions in renewable energy potential.
