§ Mr. MorleyHorticulture Research International informs me that it had been providing the Meteorology Office with wind speed measurements using cup-counter anemometers at its Efford site. The Meteorology Office has now discontinued the use of data from low-level counters of the type used by HRI. We understand that this change has been discussed with HRI who have agreed.
