Same as Aeolian.

Category:Meteorology

A term used to describe a sensor (or sensors), the associated transducer(s), and the data readout or recording device.

Category:Meteorology

Wind with a speed between 34 and 40 knots (39 and 46 mph); Beaufort scale number 8.

Category:Meteorology

That portion of the record of a microbarograph between any two (or a specified small number) of successive crossings of the average pressure level (in the same direction). Analogous to microseism.

Category:Meteorology

A fixed support for mounting maximum and minimum thermometers of the liquid-in-glass type. The support holds the thermometers at the correct operating attitude and also permits their rotation for resetting when desired.

Category:Meteorology

An anemometer which measures wind speed in terms of the drag which the wind exerts on a solid body. See bridled-cup anemometer, normal-plate anemometer, pendulum anemometer.

Category:Meteorology

Same as atmometer.

Category:Meteorology

A photoelectric spectrophotometer which is used in the determination of the ozone content of the atmosphere.

Category:Meteorology

A measure of the degree to which the weather or climate of a region is favorable to the process of evaporation. Usually considered to be the rate of evaporation. under existing atmospheric conditions, from a surface of water which is chemically pure and h ...

Category:Meteorology

Particle on which the freezing of water occurs.

Category:Meteorology

A feeble oscillatory disturbance of the earth's crust, detectable only by very sensitive seismographs. Certain types of microseisms seem to be closely correlated with pressure disturbances. See microbarm.

Category:Meteorology

For a given location, a measure of the long-range effectiveness of precipitation in promoting plant growth. Also called precipitation-evaporation index.

Category:Meteorology

A class of rain gauge in which the level of the collected rain water is measured by the position of a float resting on the surface of the water.

Category:Meteorology

Instrument for measuring the mean intensity of glo global solar radiation (direct and diffuse) near the earth's surface in a specified time interval.

Category:Meteorology

A measure of the intrinsic luminous intensity emitted by a source in a given direction. Luminance is a measure only of light. The comparable term for electromagnetic radiation in general is radiance.

Category:Meteorology

A line of equal or constant pressure.

Category:Meteorology

Apparatus designed to measure and record the size distribution of raindrops as they occur in the atmosphere.

Category:Meteorology

Erasable Programmable Read Only Memory. Programable read-only memory which can be erased, usually by ultraviolet light, and re-programmed.

Category:Meteorology

A high-altitude sounding system consisting of a small solid- propellant research rocket carried aloft by a large plastic balloon. The rocket is fired near the maximum altitude of the balloon flight.

Category:Meteorology

A unit of luminous flux. The lumen is equal to the luminous flux radiated into a unit solid angle (steradian) from a small source having a luminous intensity of one candle. An ideal source possessing an intensity of one candle in every direction would rad ...
