2. Indoor–outdoor thermometer - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Indoor–outdoor_thermometer

   Indoor-outdoor thermometer. An indoor–outdoor thermometer is a thermometer that simultaneously provides a measurement of the indoor and outdoor temperatures. The outdoor part of the thermometer requires some kind of remote temperature sensing device. Conventionally, this was done by extending the bulb of the thermometer to the remote site.

3. Meteorological instrumentation - Wikipedia

   The 17th century saw the development of the barometer and the Galileo thermometer while the 18th century saw the development of the thermometer with the Fahrenheit and Celsius scales. The 20th century developed new remote sensing tools, such as weather radars, weather satellites and wind profilers, which provide better sampling both regionally ...

   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 of time; Wind sock for measuring general wind speed and wind ...

5. Thermodynamic instruments - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermodynamic_instruments

   Thermometer – a device which measures temperature as described above; Barometer – a device which measures pressure, most notably atmospheric pressure. [3] An ideal gas barometer may be constructed by mechanically connecting an ideal gas to the system being measured, while thermally insulating it.

6. Thermometer - Wikipedia

   Thermometers are used in roadways in cold weather climates to help determine if icing conditions exist. Indoors, thermistors are used in climate control systems such as air conditioners, freezers, heaters, refrigerators, and water heaters. [56] Galileo thermometers are used to measure indoor air temperature, due to their limited measurement range.

7. Barometer - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barometer

   For example, if a barometer located at sea level and under fair weather conditions is moved to an altitude of 1,000 feet (305 m), about 1 inch of mercury (~35 hPa) must be added on to the reading. The barometer readings at the two locations should be the same if there are negligible changes in time, horizontal distance, and temperature.
