Weather station
A weather station is a facility with instruments and equipment to make observations of atmospheric conditions in order to provide information to make weather forecasts and to study the weather and climate.Typical weather stations have the following instruments:Thermometer for measuring temperatureBarometer for measuring barometric pressureHygrometer for measuring humidityAnemometer for measuring wind speed Wind vane for measuring wind directionRain gauge for measuring precipitationExcept for those instruments requiring direct exposure to the elements (anemometerrain gauge), the instruments should be sheltered in a vented box, usually a Stevenson screen, to keep direct sunlight off the thermometer and wind off the hygrometer. The instrumentation may be specialized to allow for periodic recording otherwise significant manual labour is required for record keeping. Automatic transmission of data, in a format such as METAR, is also desirable as many weather station's data is required for weather forecasting.
