2. Shipping Forecast - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shipping_Forecast

   The forecast begins by listing areas with gale warnings, followed by a general synopsis of pressure areas, then a forecast for each individual sea area covering wind speed and direction, precipitation, and visibility. Extended forecasts at 00:48 and 05:20 include information from coastal weather stations and inshore waters.

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.

4. Weather forecasting - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Weather_forecasting

   Measurements of barometric pressure and the pressure tendency (the change of pressure over time) have been used in forecasting since the late 19th century. [66] The larger the change in pressure, especially if more than 3.5 hPa (2.6 mmHg), the larger the change in weather can be expected.

5. Buys Ballot's law - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Buys_Ballot's_law

   Included in the Sailing Directions for the World are Buys Ballot's techniques for avoiding the worst part of any rotating storm system at sea using only the locally observable phenomena of cloud formations, wind speed and barometric pressure tendencies over a number of hours. These observations and application of the principles of Buys Ballot's ...

6. Outline of meteorology - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Outline_of_meteorology

   Barometer – an instrument used to measure atmospheric pressure using either water, air, or mercury; useful for forecasting short term changes in the weather; NOAA continental US weather forecast map for November 7, 2006. Ceiling balloon – a balloon, with a known ascent rate, used to measure the height of the base of clouds during daylight

7. Weather buoy - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Weather_buoy

   Weather buoys, like other types of weather stations, measure parameters such as air temperature above the ocean surface, wind speed (steady and gusting), barometric pressure, and wind direction. Since they lie in oceans and lakes, they also measure water temperature, wave height , and dominant wave period . [ 14 ]
