It is typically used as an architectural ornament to the highest point of a building]]> 2021-03-20 04:05:56 UTC https://padlet.com/dalvieo1/393bsiqm26ifg5eu/wish/1331962660 Baiwan https://padlet.com/dalvieo1/393bsiqm26ifg5eu/wish/1331963213 Aneroid Barometer
It is a pressure meter that works by compression of external pressure with the pointer shifted to change its position according to the atmospheric pressure while measuring.

The cups catch the wind, turning a dial attached to the instrument. The dial shows the wind speed.]]> 2021-03-20 04:07:20 UTC https://padlet.com/dalvieo1/393bsiqm26ifg5eu/wish/1331963576 Aim 1855117 https://padlet.com/dalvieo1/393bsiqm26ifg5eu/wish/1331978452 A THERMOMETER measures the air temperature. Most thermometers are closed glass tubes containing liquids such as alcohol or mercury. When air around the tube heats the liquid, the liquid expands and moves up the tube. A scale then shows what the actual temperature is.]]> 2021-03-20 04:27:22 UTC https://padlet.com/dalvieo1/393bsiqm26ifg5eu/wish/1331978452 Paper https://padlet.com/dalvieo1/393bsiqm26ifg5eu/wish/1331978790 A weather balloon, also known as sounding balloon, is a balloon (specifically a type of high-altitude balloon) that carries instruments aloft to send back information on atmospheric pressure, temperature, humidity and wind speed by means of a small, expendable measuring device called a radiosond]]> 2021-03-20 04:27:46 UTC https://padlet.com/dalvieo1/393bsiqm26ifg5eu/wish/1331978790 Aim 1855117 https://padlet.com/dalvieo1/393bsiqm26ifg5eu/wish/1331979899 A SLING PSYCHROMETER measures relative humidity, using the cooling effect of evaporation. Two thermometers are used in a sling psychrometer. Wet the cloth of one of the thermometers and swing the psychrometer around a few times. Water evaporates from the cloth, causing the temperatures on that thermometer to be lower than the other.]]> 2021-03-20 04:29:12 UTC https://padlet.com/dalvieo1/393bsiqm26ifg5eu/wish/1331979899 Aim 1855117 https://padlet.com/dalvieo1/393bsiqm26ifg5eu/wish/1331980732 A RAIN GAUGE measures the amount of rain that has fallen over a specific time period.

Humidity measurement instruments usually rely on measurements of some other quantities such as temperature, pressure, mass, a mechanical or electrical change in a substance as moisture is absorbed]]> 2021-03-20 04:30:42 UTC https://padlet.com/dalvieo1/393bsiqm26ifg5eu/wish/1331980954 Paper https://padlet.com/dalvieo1/393bsiqm26ifg5eu/wish/1331981706 A rain gauge (also known as an udometer, pluviometer, or an ombrometer) is an instrument used by meteorologists and hydrologists to gather and measure the amount of liquid precipitation over an area in a predefined period of time. It is used for determining the depth of precipitation (usually in mm) that occurs over a unit area and thus measuring rainfall amount.]]> 2021-03-20 04:31:44 UTC https://padlet.com/dalvieo1/393bsiqm26ifg5eu/wish/1331981706 Aim 1855117 https://padlet.com/dalvieo1/393bsiqm26ifg5eu/wish/1331981818 A WIND SOCK is a conical textile tube, which resembles a giant sock, designed to indicate wind direction and relative wind speed.]]> 2021-03-20 04:31:54 UTC https://padlet.com/dalvieo1/393bsiqm26ifg5eu/wish/1331981818 Paper https://padlet.com/dalvieo1/393bsiqm26ifg5eu/wish/1331983166 A weather satellite is a type of satellite that is primarily used to monitor the weather and climate of the Earth. Satellites can be polar orbiting (covering the entire Earth asynchronously), or geostationary (hovering over the same spot on the equator]]> 2021-03-20 04:33:52 UTC https://padlet.com/dalvieo1/393bsiqm26ifg5eu/wish/1331983166
