3. Meteorological instrumentation - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Meteorological_instrumentation

   In 1714, Gabriel Fahrenheit creates a reliable scale for measuring temperature with a mercury-type thermometer. [2] In 1742, Anders Celsius, a Swedish astronomer, proposed the 'centigrade' temperature scale, the predecessor of the current Celsius scale. [3] In 1783, the first hair hygrometer is demonstrated by Horace-Bénédict de Saussure.

4. Hygrometer - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hygrometer

   A hygrometer is an instrument which measures the humidity of air or some other gas: that is, how much of it is water vapor. [1] Humidity measurement instruments usually rely on measurements of some other quantities such as temperature, pressure, mass, and mechanical or electrical changes in a substance as moisture is absorbed.

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermo-hygrograph

   A thermo-hygrograph. A thermo-hygrograph or hygrothermograph is a chart recorder that measures and records both temperature and humidity (or dew point).Similar devices that record only one parameter are a thermograph for temperature and hygrograph for humidity.

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Analog_device

   There are notable non-electrical analog devices, such as some clocks (sundials, water clocks), the astrolabe, slide rules, the governor of a steam engine, the planimeter (a simple device that measures the surface area of a closed shape), Kelvin's mechanical tide predictor, acoustic rangefinders, servomechanisms (e.g. the thermostat), a simple mercury thermometer, a weighing scale, and the ...

8. Thermometer - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermometer

   A thermometer has two important elements: (1) a temperature sensor (e.g. the bulb of a mercury-in-glass thermometer or the pyrometric sensor in an infrared thermometer) in which some change occurs with a change in temperature; and (2) some means of converting this change into a numerical value (e.g. the visible scale that is marked on a mercury ...

9. Indoor–outdoor thermometer - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Indoor–outdoor_thermometer

   In an indoor–outdoor thermometer based on a conventional liquid-in-glass thermometer, the stem of the outdoor thermometer is connected to the bulb by a long, flexible or semi-rigid capillary. The temperature scale is marked on the stem as usual. However, the temperature that is actually measured is the temperature at the bulb. [1]
