AIRPORTS

A computer-generated voice message which is

broadcast via radio frequency to pilots in the
vicinity of an airport. The message is updated at
least once per minute, and this is the only
mandatory form of weather reporting for an
AWOS

Automated Weather Observing System are automated sensor suites which are
designed to serve aviation and meteorological observing needs for safe and
efficient aviation operations, weather forecasting and climatology.

An anemometer is a device used for measuring the

speed of wind, and is also a common weather station
instrument. The term is derived from the Greek word
anemos, which means wind, and is used to describe any
wind speed instrument used in meteorology

A barometer is a scientific instrument used

in meteorology to measure atmospheric pressure.
Pressure tendency can forecast short term changes in
the weather. Many measurements of air pressure are
used within surface weather analysis to help find
surface troughs, high pressure systems and frontal
boundaries.

A transmissometer is an instrument for measuring

the extinction coefficient of the atmosphere and sea
water, and for the determination of visual range. It
operates by sending a narrow, collimated beam of
energy (usually a laser) through the propagation

medium.

A rain gauge (also known as an udometer, pluviometer, or

an ombrometer) is an instrument used
by meteorologists and hydrologiststo gather and measure the amount of
liquid precipitation over a set period of time.

A ceilometer is a device that uses a laser or other light

source to determine the height of a cloud ceiling or cloud
base. Ceilometers can also be used to measure
the aerosol concentration within the atmosphere.

A hygrometer is an instrument used for measuring the

amount of humidity and water vapour in the atmosphere,
in soil, or in confined spaces. Humidity measurement
instruments usually rely on measurements of some other
quantity such as temperature, pressure, mass or a
mechanical or electrical change

The NOAA weather station at Wake Island harbor measures and

transmits data on wind speed, atmospheric pressure, air
temperature and tides.

pyranometer is a type of actinometer used for

measuring solar irradiance on a planar surface and
it is designed to measure the solar radiation flux
density

The Stevenson Screen is one of a very few designs

that is recommended by the World Meteorological
Organization in their aim to provide standardized
environment in which to measure weather variables.
