  2. METAR - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/METAR

    In addition to METARs and SPECIs, ASOS One-Minute Observations (OMO) are updated once a minute. OMOs can be in various formats, including the METAR format. [4]: 3 Some METARs are encoded by automated airport weather stations located at airports, military bases, and other sites. Some locations still use augmented observations, which are recorded ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Photogrammetry

    Low altitude aerial photograph for use in photogrammetry. Location: Three Arch Bay, Laguna Beach, California. Photogrammetry is the science and technology of obtaining reliable information about physical objects and the environment through the process of recording, measuring and interpreting photographic images and patterns of electromagnetic radiant imagery and other phenomena.

  4. Meteorological instrumentation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Meteorological_instrumentation

    Surface weather observations are the fundamental data used for safety as well as climatological reasons to forecast weather and issue warnings worldwide. [6] They can be taken manually, by a weather observer, by computer through the use of automated weather stations, or in a hybrid scheme using weather observers to augment the otherwise ...

    Also actiniform. Describing a collection of low-lying, radially structured clouds with distinct shapes (resembling leaves or wheels in satellite imagery), and typically organized in extensive mesoscale fields over marine environments. They are closely related to and sometimes considered a variant of stratocumulus clouds. actinometer A scientific instrument used to measure the heating power of ...

  6. Visibility - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Visibility

    In meteorology, visibility is the measure of the distance at which an object or light can be clearly discerned. It depends on the transparency of the surrounding air and as such, it is unchanging no matter the ambient light level or time of day.

    Net A subset S of a metric space X is called -net if for any point in X there is a point in S on the distance . [13] This is distinct from topological nets which generalize limits. Nilmanifold : An element of the minimal set of manifolds which includes a point, and has the following property: any oriented S 1 {\displaystyle S^{1}} -bundle over ...
