Weather Measuring Tools With Names

They even use their eyes as important instruments for measuring visibility and making observations.

Weather measuring tools with names.

This type of thermometers can measure from 65 75 degree celsius to 20 25 degree celsius. Meteorologists use weather maps to forecast the weather. For measuring the temperature under 35 degree celsius alcohol filled thermometers are used. We record temperatures in degrees fahrenheit.

Display the photo gallery instruments that measure weather. The rain gauge is part of every weather station. Weather maps indicate atmospheric conditions above a large portion of the earth s surface. Cover the names of the instruments.

Explain to students that there are many more tools scientists use to measure weather. A compass is a navigational instrument for finding. A rain gauge is an instrument for measuring the precipitation that has fallen in a given time interval. Discuss the photo gallery of instruments that measure weather.

A rain gauge known as a pluviometer is used to measure the amount of precipitation that occurs over a period of time. The thermometers use different physical parameters like the expansion of different states of matter for measuring the temperature. Thermometers one of the most widely recognized weather instruments are tools used to measure ambient air temperature. A hygrometer measures the water vapor content of air or the humidity.

An electronic rain gauge can also determine the rate of rainfall. 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.
