The 20th century developed new remote sensing tools, such as weather radars, weather satellites and wind profilers, which provide better sampling both regionally and globally. Remote sensing instruments collect data from weather events some distance from the instrument and typically stores the data where the instrument is located and often ...

A Campbell–Stokes sunshine recorder. A sunshine recorder is a device that records the amount of sunshine at a given location or region at any time. The results provide information about the weather and climate as well as the temperature of a geographical area.
Doppler on Wheels (or DOW) is a fleet of X-band and C-band mobile and quickly-deployable truck-borne radars which are the core instrumentation of the Flexible Array of Radars and Mesonets [1] affiliated with the University of Alabama Huntsville [2] and led by Joshua Wurman, with the funding partially provided by the National Science Foundation ...
Remote reading gauges, such as used by weather stations, work similarly to rain gauges. They have a large catch area (such as a drum sawn in half, top to bottom) which collects snow until a given weight is collected. When this critical weight is reached, it tips and empties the snow catch. This dumping trips a switch, sending a signal.
Weather and climate forecasting. AIRS data are used by weather forecasting centers around the world. By incorporating AIRS measurements into their models, forecasters have been able to extend reliable mid-range weather forecasts by more than six hours. [5] AIRS data have also improved forecasts of the location and magnitude of predicted storms.
A weather drone, or weather-sensing uncrewed aerial vehicle (UAV), [1] – is a remotely piloted aircraft weighing less than 25 kg [2] and carrying sensors that collect thermodynamic and kinematic data from the mid and lower atmosphere (e.g. up to 6 km).
