Period
1970 - 1990
Canada
From a collection of instruments used at Meteorological Services of Canada observing station at Parks Canada Warden Office in Rogers Pass National Historic Site, Glacier National Park, B.C. Used by Parks Canada avalanche forecasters to measure and record wind speed and direction, to track weather patterns, create avalanche forecasts/bulletins, and etc along the Trans-Canada Highway and Canadian Pacific Railway transportation corridor.
Function
An instrument that measures wind speed & direction by means of a cup wheel & wind vane respectively, with the readings recorded electrically by a separate anemograph. The cup wheel and wind vane assemblies were fitted to a anemometer U arm approx. 1.3m long.
Technical
A three cup anemometer was designed by Canadian meteorologist John Patterson of the Canadian Meteorological Service in the 1920’s. Successive versions of this Canadian anemometer was used by the MSC for decades at various observing stations in Canada. This likely 1980’s version of the Patterson anemometer has modified wind speed and direction electrical contacts in the base units to electrically send data.
