    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_measuring_instruments

    In the past, a common time measuring instrument was the sundial. Today, the usual measuring instruments for time are clocks and watches. For highly accurate measurement of time an atomic clock is used. Stopwatches are also used to measure time in some sports.

    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 ...

  4. Temperature measurement - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Temperature_measurement

    One must be careful when measuring temperature to ensure that the measuring instrument (thermometer, thermocouple, etc.) is really the same temperature as the material that is being measured. Under some conditions heat from the measuring instrument can cause a temperature gradient, so the measured temperature is different from the actual ...

    Ascent rate times ascent time yields the ceiling height. A disdrometer is an instrument used to measure the drop size distribution and velocity of falling hydrometeors. Rain gauges are used to measure the precipitation which falls at any point on the Earth's landmass.

    The idea of using atomic transitions to measure time was first suggested by the British scientist Lord Kelvin in 1879, [204] although it was only in the 1930s with the development of magnetic resonance that there was a practical method for measuring time in this way. [205] A prototype ammonia maser device was built in 1948 at NIST. Although ...

  7. Weather station - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Weather_station

    A weather instrument is any device that measures weather related conditions. Since there are a variety of different weather conditions, there are a variety of different weather instruments. Typical weather stations have the following instruments: Thermometer for measuring air and sea surface temperature; Barometer for measuring atmospheric pressure
