This is water that falls from the atmosphere in various forms, such as rain or hail. It particularly refers to the liquid water that falls from the sky in the form of raindrops.
Precipitation/rainfall
This is the process by which liquid water is converted into water vapor and enters the atmosphere through surfaces such as oceans, lakes, and soil.
Evaporation
reflects how hot or cold the air is, and it is crucial for better understanding weather and climate conditions since it can represent climatic effects in diverse locations, which can influence the overall temperature of the Earth.
Air temperature
This is the amount of water vapor in the air at a certain temperature. This is also used to predict the presence of rain, fog, or mist.
Relative humidity
This is the electromagnetic energy emitted by the sun that signals the earth's atmospheric condition, drives the climate, and sustains life through processes such as photosynthesis.
Solar radiation
This describes the direction in which the wind blows, which might signal weather changes. This is important because it has the potential to help us understand atmospheric circulation patterns better.
Wind direction
This is the rate at which air flows horizontally past a place in the atmosphere, which is useful for weather forecasting and storm strength predictions.
Wind velocity
This instrument is made up of a funnel-shaped collector and a bucket with a pivot mechanism that measures rainfall by collecting precipitation in a tipping bucket.
Tipping bucket rain gauge
This equipment measures the depth of rainfall in a cylindrical container mounted on a base by manually collecting rainwater with a meter stick.
Standard Manual Rain Gauge
This detects changes in volume, pressure, or resistance to determine temperature.
Thermometer
This calculates relative humidity by comparing the temperatures of wet and dry bulbs, which is important for weather forecasting and moisture monitoring.
Psychrometer
This instrument is made up of a cylindrical box sphere with a glass sphere placed on top that burns a trace onto a strip of paper or film to measure the duration and intensity of sunlight over time.
Sunshine recorder
This arrow -shaped vane features directional markings and is composed of lightweight materials that allow it to revolve freely while lining up and measuring wind directions.
Windvane
This wind instrument consists of three or more cups mounted symmetrically on horizontal arms extending from a central axis and provides accurate data on wind speed by calculating the rotations of cups driven by the wind.
Cup anemometer
This is enclosed in glass and features a circular dial with a pointer that indicates atmospheric pressure measurements. This measures air pressure, detects weather changes, and helps with forecasts.
Barometer
This weather instrument is made up of a series of sensors contained in a waterproof casing and positioned on a pole. It automatically records and transmits real-time meteorological data, making it helpful for research and other purposes.
Automatic Weather Station
This is a wind instrument that measures both wind direction and speed, with the propeller indicating these parameters as wind speed increases.
Aerovane
This instrument determines the amount of evaporation at a certain place by retaining water during observations to predict possible evaporation rates.
