  5. Meteorological instrumentation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Meteorological_instrumentation

    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 ...

  6. Air flow meter - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Air_flow_meter

    An air flow meter is a device similar to an anemometer that measures air flow, i.e. how much air is flowing through a tube. It does not measure the volume of the air passing through the tube, it measures the mass of air flowing through the device per unit time, though Thus air flow meters are simply an application of mass flow meters for the ...

  7. Sodar - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SODAR

    Sodar systems are in fact nothing more than sonar systems used in the air rather than in water. More specifically, since they operate using the Doppler effect with a multi-beam configuration to determine wind speed, they are the exact in-air equivalent to a subclass of sonar systems known as acoustic Doppler current profilers (ADCP). Other ...

  8. Particulate matter sampler - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Particulate_matter_sampler

    Modern particulate samplers use a volumetric flow control system that pulls air through the particle separator at the velocity required to achieve the desired cutpoint. For air pollution applications, the definition of "particulate" does not include uncombined water , and water from a particulate sample must be removed before it is weighed.

  9. Aerometer - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aerometer

    Using an aeromerer. An aerometer is an instrument designed to measure the density (among other parameters) of the air and some gases. [1] [2]The word aerometer (or Ärometer, from Ancient Greek ἀήρ -aer "air" and μέτρον -métron "measure, scale") refers to various types of devices for measuring or handling of gases.
