Wind Force at Sea
Abstract
IN reference to a letter on the above subject in NATURE (P. 274), I beg to acquaint your readers that Capt. Barker's wish that anemometers should be used more on board ship has been endeavoured to be met by an instrument designed by myself on the sail principle. It has now been in use on some ships at sea for long voyages for five years, and daily observations have been obtained and sent home of the data observed, of pressure, direction, and velocity of the winds met with.
