    Circuit Cellar Magazine had an article on this subject in May 2001, page 30. The author was Gordon Dick at gordond@nait.ab.ca.

    The article can be purchased at Circuit Cellar's website.

    Here is a complete kit to build an ultrasonic wind monitor for about $49.00 US:

    I didn't look to see if they shipped internationally, sorry.

    Here is also a VERY interesting and complete article about the use of ultrasonics (in this case a specific "Sonic" wind detection product) from the September 2000 issue of Sensors Magazine:

    I hope some or all of that is helpful. When our resident sensing guru, Dr. Tracy Allen, spots your post, I suspect he may have more to say, as this subject has come up before.

    Regards,
