Short summary
We used computer simulations to improve how fiber-optic cables measure wind direction. These heated cables have small cones attached to sense how air moves around them. We found that hollow cone designs detect airflow more accurately than earlier versions. This helps us better understand air movement near the ground and could improve the physical foundations of weather and climate models.
