2. List of weather instruments - Wikipedia

   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 ...

3. Automated airport weather station - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Automated_airport_weather...

   To determine visibility, automated airport weather stations use one of two sensor types: forward scatter sensors; transmissometers; The forward scatter sensor uses a beam of infrared light which is sent from one end of the sensor toward the receiver, but offset from a direct line to the receiver by a certain angle.

4. Meteorological instrumentation - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Meteorological_instrumentation

   The 20th century developed new remote sensing tools, such as weather radars, weather satellites and wind profilers, which provide better sampling both regionally and globally. Remote sensing instruments collect data from weather events some distance from the instrument and typically stores the data where the instrument is located and often ...

5. Road Weather Information System - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Road_Weather_Information...

   A Road Weather Information System (RWIS) comprises automatic weather stations (AWS) (often technically referred to as Environmental Sensor Stations (ESS) as they also cover non-meteorological variables) in the field, a communication system for data transfer, and central systems to collect field data from numerous ESS. These stations measure ...

6. High-pressure area - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/High-pressure_area

   High pressure systems in the temperate latitudes generally bring warm weather in summer, when the amount of heat received from the Sun during daytime exceeds what is lost at night, and cold weather in winter when the amount of heat lost at night exceeds what is gained during daytime. [3] In the Southern Hemisphere the result is similar.

7. Pyranometer - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pyranometer

   A pyranometer (from Greek πῦρ (pyr) 'fire' and ἄνω (ano) 'above, sky') is a type of actinometer used for measuring solar irradiance on a planar surface and it is designed to measure the solar radiation flux density (W/m 2) from the hemisphere above within a wavelength range 0.3 μm to 3 μm.
