  2. Snow gauge - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Snow_gauge

    The snow gauge suffers from the same problem as that of the rain gauge when conditions are windy. If the wind is strong enough, then the snow may be blown across the wind gauge, and the amount of snow fallen will be under-reported. However, due to the shape and size of the funnel, this is a minor problem.

    A thermometer measures air temperature, or the kinetic energy of the molecules within air. A barometer measures atmospheric pressure, or the pressure exerted by the weight of the Earth's atmosphere above a particular location. An anemometer measures the wind speed and the

    Snow density (ρ s) is the mass per unit volume of snow of a known volume, calculated as kg/m 3. Classification runs from very fine at below 0.2 mm to very coarse (2.0–5.0 mm) and beyond. Snow hardness (R) is the resistance to penetration of an object into snow. Most snow studies use a fist or fingers for softer snows (very soft through ...

    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 ...

    Unlike hail or sleet, graupel is soft and can be crushed easily in your hand, and is sometimes called "soft hail." It is also usually smaller than hail, with a diameter of around 0.08-0.2 inches.
