  2. Meteorological instrumentation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Meteorological_instrumentation

    Meteorological instrumentation. Galileo thermometer. Meteorological instruments (or weather instruments), including meteorological sensors (weather sensors), are the equipment used to find the state of the atmosphere at a given time. Each science has its own unique sets of laboratory equipment. Meteorology, however, is a science which does not ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_weather_instruments

    Weather stations typically have these following instruments: Thermometer for measuring air and sea surface temperature. Barometer for measuring atmospheric pressure. Hygrometer for measuring humidity. Anemometer for measuring wind speed. Pyranometer for measuring solar radiation. Rain gauge for measuring liquid precipitation over a set period ...

  5. Meteorology - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Meteorology

    Meteorology is a branch of the atmospheric sciences (which include atmospheric chemistry and physics) with a major focus on weather forecasting. The study of meteorology dates back millennia, though significant progress in meteorology did not begin until the 18th century. The 19th century saw modest progress in the field after weather ...

  6. Rain gauge - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rain_gauge

    Rain gauge. A rain gauge (also known as udometer, pluviometer, ombrometer, and hyetometer) is an instrument used by meteorologists and hydrologists to gather and measure the amount of liquid precipitation over a predefined area, over a period of time. [1] It is used to determine the depth of precipitation (usually in mm) that occurs over a unit ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Measurement_tower

    A measurement tower or measurement mast, also known as meteorological tower or meteorological mast (met tower or met mast), is a free standing tower or a removed mast, which carries measuring instruments with meteorological instruments, such as thermometers and instruments to measure wind speed. Measurement towers are an essential component of ...

  8. GPS meteorology - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GPS_meteorology

    GPS meteorology refers to the use of the effect of the atmosphere on the propagation of the Global Positioning System's ( GPS) radio signals to derive information on the state of the (lower, neutral) atmosphere. There are currently two main operational techniques in use in GPS meteorology: GPS limb sounding from orbit, and GPS water vapour ...
