- streamer standard term
Terms and slang labels apply to this language. Usage may differ in other languages.
What it means
It is simpler than a windsock and can be tied to almost anything near launch, such as a pole, fence or bush. It says less about wind strength than a windsock does.
Example in context
A streamer hangs on a pole by launch, so I can see straight away where the wind is coming from.
