What is the barometer used for and how does it work?
A barometer is an instrument used to measure atmospheric pressure. It can measure the pressure exerted by the atmosphere by using water, air, or mercury. Pressure tendency can forecast short term changes in the weather. Numerous measurements of air pressure are used within surface weather analysis to help find surface troughs, high pressure systems, and frontal boundaries.
Which weather instrument would you use to measure wind speed?
anemometer
What the basic instrument for measuring atmospheric pressure?
This would be a barometer. When the air pressure drops, you can expect rain or other bad weather like thunderstorms. On the other hand, when the air pressure rise, you can expect better weather. You can tell by using a barometer.
Does the weather vane measure wind speed or air pressure?
An anemometer is used to measure
Which is the weather instrument would a meteorologist use to measure the amount of rainfall?
A Rain-Gauge: a calibrated container with a specially-designed funnel. Simple but effective! They would have to use more sophisticated devices if monitoring the weather remotely.
What instruments are used to measure the atmospheric pressure?
Usually the instrument used is called a barometer- which could be a closed end manometer or an aneroid barometer.An altimeter actually also measures atmospheric pressures - but for a different purpose.
What measures the atmosphere?
The atmosphere has numerous measurable properties, including pressure, temperature, humidity, velocity. Each of these is measured by a different instrument. Pressure is measured by a barometer, temperature is measured by a thermometer, etc.That would be a barometer. I assume you are referring to atmospheric pressure.
Which instrument would a meteorologist use to measure the height of clouds?
The ceilometer instrument.
What area of technology is associated with a weather instrument?
That would be meteorology.
What instrument would you use to measure the length of a football court?
A tape measure.
What instrument would you use to measure how hot the water is?
.
Instrument used to measure a line segment?
it would be a ruler
