Weather Measuring Tools With Names

Explain to students that there are many more tools scientists use to measure weather.

Weather measuring tools with names.

A rain gauge is an instrument for measuring the precipitation that has fallen in a given time interval. Display the photo gallery instruments that measure weather. A compass is a navigational instrument for finding. This type of thermometers can measure from 65 75 degree celsius to 20 25 degree celsius.

Cover the names of the instruments. For measuring the temperature under 35 degree celsius alcohol filled thermometers are used. They even use their eyes as important instruments for measuring visibility and making observations. We record temperatures in degrees fahrenheit.

Modern rain gauges used in digital weather stations are most commonly of the tipping bucket or sometimes called tipping spoon design. Weather maps indicate atmospheric conditions above a large portion of the earth s surface. Discuss the photo gallery of instruments that measure weather. It is used in meteorology as an additional tool of the weather forecast and the climatology for the purpose of long term statistics of precipitation.

A hygrometer measures the water vapor content of air or the humidity. An electronic rain gauge can also determine the rate of rainfall. The thermometers use different physical parameters like the expansion of different states of matter for measuring the temperature. A rain gauge known as a pluviometer is used to measure the amount of precipitation that occurs over a period of time.

The rain gauge is part of every weather station. A weather balloon measures weather conditions higher up in the atmosphere.
