    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 ...

  3. Meteorological instrumentation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Meteorological_instrumentation

    A weather station is a facility with instruments and equipment to make observations of atmospheric conditions in order to provide information to make weather forecasts and to study the weather and climate. The measurements taken include temperature, barometric pressure, humidity, wind speed, wind direction, and precipitation amounts.

    Weather buoys are instruments which collect weather and oceanography data within the world's oceans and lakes. [6] [7] [8] Moored buoys have been in use since 1951, [9] while drifting buoys have been used since the late 1970s. [10] Moored buoys are connected with the seabed using either chains, nylon, or buoyant polypropylene. [11]

  6. Barometer - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barometer

    An altimeter is intended to be used at different levels matching the corresponding atmospheric pressure to the altitude, while a barometer is kept at the same level and measures subtle pressure changes caused by weather and elements of weather. The average atmospheric pressure on the Earth's surface varies between 940 and 1040 hPa (mbar).

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stevenson_screen

    It forms part of a standard weather station and holds instruments that may include thermometers (ordinary, maximum/minimum), a hygrometer, a psychrometer, a dewcell, a barometer, and a thermograph. Stevenson screens may also be known as a cotton region shelter, an instrument shelter, a thermometer shelter, a thermoscreen, or a thermometer screen.

  9. Automated airport weather station - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Automated_airport_weather...

    Because of problems the heated tipping bucket has with properly measuring frozen precipitation (particularly snow), the all-weather precipitation accumulation gauge (AWPAG) was developed. This sensor is essentially a weighing gauge where precipitation continuously accumulates within the collector, and as the weight increases, precipitation is ...
