Are an anemometer and wind vane global winds?

No. They are not winds at all, they are devices. A wind vane indicates wind direction and an anemometer measures wind speed. They only measure winds at a single point, so they are not measuring global winds.


What is an instrument used to determine wind speed?

The anemometer measures wind speed, and the wind-vane measures its direction. Those two measurements combine to indicate the wind velocity. Wind force depends on the method and device used to capture wind-power, or the shape and size of the structure against which the wind blows. For any single device or structure, the force of the wind against it is closely related to the wind's speed and direction.

Is when the speed of a storm winds increases and winds begin to swirl a tropical strom?

When the speed of a storm's winds increases and they start to swirl in a circular motion, it is known as a tropical storm. This circular motion is one of the defining characteristics of a tropical storm, which can lead to further intensification into a hurricane.
