Abstract

Wind speed information is one of the required parameters of BMKG and is measured using an anemometer. Therefore, calibration of an anemometer is required to produce precise and accurate wind speed data using wind tunnel. Wind tunnel is a vehicle to studies and research on the interaction between air movement with objects in the air flow. Wind Tunnel in calibration of meterorologi equipment is a calibrator for wind speed which can produce laminar wind which its speed can be controlled so that it can be used for wind speed sensor calibration. This research was conducted to design the wind tunnel prototype, where the wind velocity profile is measured to know the intensity of turbulence by controlling the speed of fan motor in wind tunnel. The design of this prototype aims to support the learning activity of calibration practice of meteorology equipment in STMKG so that cadets know the calibration process of anemometer using wind tunnel. The design and implementation wind tunnel has a total length of 150 cm with intensity of turbulence between 3.11% to 6.55% . Casella anemometer with a correction  0.05 m/s after the calibration process is used as a standard in performing the calibration process.
