2. Weather station - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Weather_station

   A weather station is a facility, either on land or sea, with instruments and equipment for measuring atmospheric conditions to provide information for weather forecasts and to study the weather and climate. The measurements taken include temperature, atmospheric pressure, humidity, wind speed, wind direction, and precipitation amounts.

3. 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 ...

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Meteorological_instrumentation

   Meteorological instrumentation. Galileo thermometer. Meteorological instruments (or weather instruments), including meteorological sensors (weather sensors), are the equipment used to find the state of the atmosphere at a given time. Each science has its own unique sets of laboratory equipment. Meteorology, however, is a science which does not ...

5. Stevenson screen - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stevenson_screen

   A Stevenson screen or instrument shelter is a shelter or an enclosure used to protect meteorological instruments against precipitation and direct heat radiation from outside sources, while still allowing air to circulate freely around them. [1] It forms part of a standard weather station and holds instruments that may include thermometers ...

6. Wet-bulb globe temperature - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wet-bulb_globe_temperature

   The wet-bulb globe temperature (WBGT) is a measure of environmental heat as it affects humans. Unlike a simple temperature measurement, WBGT accounts for all four major environmental heat factors: air temperature, humidity, radiant heat (from sunlight or sources such as furnaces), and air movement (wind or ventilation).

7. Mercury-in-glass thermometer - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mercury-in-glass_thermometer

   A medical mercury-in-glass maximum thermometer showing the temperature of 38.7 °C (101.7 °F). One special kind of mercury-in-glass thermometer, called a maximum thermometer, works by having a constriction in the neck close to the bulb. As the temperature rises, the mercury is pushed up through the constriction by the force of expansion.
