✦ Synopsis

The inexpensive direct current heated thermistor anemometer described shows high sensitivity for low speeds such as found in plant canopies; errors due to turbulence are slight, but temperature corrections are required. Calibration data for 16 instruments show good agreement with that predicted by heat transfer theory.
