Meteorology and Climatology

Weather stations use various sensors to collect data about atmospheric conditions. Thermometers measure air temperature both indoors and outdoors. Hygrometers measure humidity levels. Barometers measure air pressure changes which indicate pressure trends. Anemometers measure wind speed and direction. Rain gauges measure the amount of liquid precipitation over time. Together, these sensors provide the measurements needed to analyze weather patterns and forecasts.

SENSORS

Weather stations sensors observations
are made to develop hydrological and
agro-meteorological forecasts as well as
for research in atmospheric sciences.

For all these uses is that the seasons


Weather must meet a certain
representativeness depending on the
product or information you want get for
the purpose of it.
The weather can be defined merely as the state of the
atmosphere. Numerous factors can influence the weather
conditions or the atmosphere. It is almost impossible to
predict the weather conditions, but with technology, it has
been made possible. Weather stations have been specially
designed for this purpose. As the state of the atmosphere is
directly related to the air temperature and pressure,
knowing the air temperature as well as strength can give us
powerful insight about the weather around us.
* Thermometer
is the basic unit of a weather station. It
works as a temperature sensor and
transmits the data to the central console.
Usually, a weather station consists of
wireless indoor and outdoor
thermometer, by the help of which it is
possible for you to peek out from
underneath the warm covers, reach over
to the console and check your room
temperature, as well as the outdoor
temperature.
* Hygrometer

Hygrometer, instrument used in


meteorological science to measure
the humidity, or amount of water
vapour in the air.
* Barometer

Aneroid barometers consist of a small


flexible metal capsule. In construction,
it is created a vacuum inside the
capsule so that changes in pressure
cause the capsule to decrease or
increase

These changes cause the needles to


move inside the barometer, marking the
pressure at that time.
* Anemometer
An anemometer is a device for measuring wind speed,
and is one instrument used in a weather station. The
term is derived from the Greek word, anemos,
meaning wind. An anemometer can also be loosely
defined as a device that measures both windspeed
and wind direction (wind vane).
* Rain gauge

A rain gauge is a device that measures liquid


precipitation (rain), as opposed to solid
precipitation (snow gauge) over a set period of
time.

All digital rain gauges are self emptying or self


dumping (also referred to as tipping rain
gauge). The precision of the rain gauge is
based on the volume of rain per emptying
cycle.
