    Weather Instruments
    Aneroid Barometer Measures atmospheric pressure. Air pressure exerts a crushing force on a thin metal element. Linkages move to a pointer to indicate the pressure on a scale.

    Aneroid Barometer

    Aneroid Barometer
    Must be properly adjusted.
    (Usually done by a professional, often for free.)

    Reading must be adjusted for elevation to give pressure at sea level.


    (Note: Mercurial Barometers must also be corrected for latitude and temperature.)

    Barometers

    Weather Instruments

    Barograph A recording barometer.

    Weather Instruments
    Thermometer Measures air temperature. You must be able to convert between Celsius and Fahrenheit scales.

    Hygrometer Measures Relative Humidity and Dew Point.

    Weather Instruments
    Relative Humidity ratio of amount of water vapor in the air to the amount it could hold at the current temperature. Dew Point the temperature at which water vapor will condense.

    Weather Instruments
    Hygrometer Most common type: sling psychrometer.

    Sling Psychrometer
    Two Thermometers: 1 wet, 1 dry Temperature difference is noted.
