I'm not sure how much actual useful information it has, I was mainly  
scraping it for info on the GPRS module.

But check out http://www.sparkfun.com/tutorial/WeBBS/WeBBS-Final%20Report.pdf

It's a document on building a very low power weather station and they  
seem to have some design for a wind sensor using ultrasonic sensors  
which seemed very cool.

Best Regards,
Trent
