*Scott catalog number, unless prefixed with Mi or BL for Michel; "i" prefix denotes imperforate version.
**FDC = first day cover; SS# = souvenir sheet, MS# = miniature sheet, where # = number of stamps in sheet, and the numbers in parentheses are the catalog numbers of the stamps in the sheet.
1Cup anemometers unless otherwise specified. The number of cups is specified only for those items where the number is clear. Some of the images of anemometers are either too small or give a horizontal view of the anemometer so that the number of cups cannot be determined.
2Same design was used from 1969 through 1977.
3Decorative wind vanes are commonly known as weather vanes; rooster wind vanes are commonly known as weathercocks.
4WMD = World Meteorological Day.
5Although not a typical wind vane, the wind-signal tower was used as a tool to measure the power of the wind and a signal to inform fishermen when they could sail into or out of the port.
6Quantitative measures of wind only.
7The two propeller-anemometer-like devices on these items are two wind-driven generators on Nomad ocean buoys.
8Wind-speed only on these items, because there is no wind vane for determining wind direction.
9Wind-direction only on these items, because there are no cups or propeller for determining wind speed with an anemoscope.
10A QSL card is a written confirmation, meaning either "do you confirm receipt of my transmission" or "I confirm receipt of your transmission". QSL is not an acronym but is one of the many three-letter Q codes used in radiocommunication.
