Weather Measuring Tools With Names

Modern rain gauges used in digital weather stations are most commonly of the tipping bucket or sometimes called tipping spoon design.

Weather measuring tools with names.

A weather balloon measures weather conditions higher up in the atmosphere. A rain gauge is an instrument for measuring the precipitation that has fallen in a given time interval. Cover the names of the instruments. The rain gauge is part of every weather station.

For measuring the temperature under 35 degree celsius alcohol filled thermometers are used. 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. This type of thermometers can measure from 65 75 degree celsius to 20 25 degree celsius. A rain gauge known as a pluviometer is used to measure the amount of precipitation that occurs over a period of time.

An electronic rain gauge can also determine the rate of rainfall. The si international unit of temperature is degrees celsius but in the u s. Explain to students that there are many more tools scientists use to measure weather. They even use their eyes as important instruments for measuring visibility and making observations.

We record temperatures in degrees fahrenheit. Meteorologists use weather maps to forecast the weather. Display the photo gallery instruments that measure weather. The thermometers use different physical parameters like the expansion of different states of matter for measuring the temperature.

Discuss the photo gallery of instruments that measure weather. Weather maps indicate atmospheric conditions above a large portion of the earth s surface.
