The slope of expression (6), d[A.sub.r]/d[R.sub.rc], seems to be directly related to the aerodynamic nondimensional coefficient of the cups, as very small differences in this coefficient were observed among the 42 calibrations performed on the 2 anemometers tested.

Commercial anemometers which are used for weather forecast have a tolerance of +-0.3m/s to 0.5 m/s; these may be reasonably accurate anemometers for weather forecast but such tolerance is not acceptable for wind turbine installation.
