Of equal or constant pressure, with respect to either space or time.

Category:Meteorology

Diffuse solar radiation which has the same intensity in all directions.

Category:Meteorology

A magnetometer of the electromagnetic type which is used to measure the horizontal intensity of the earth's magnetic field.

Category:Meteorology

An effect noted primarily in wet snow conditions when snow clings to the sides of a precipitation gauge and gradually accumulates until the gauge orifice is capped with accumulated snow. This effect can be minimized by using large collectors, and wind scr ...

See constant-level balloon.

Category:Meteorology

Temperature assumed by an unsaturated air parcel when brought adiabatically to a standard pressure (1,000 mb).

Category:Meteorology

An instrument for taking photographs of an image of the sun in monochromatic light.

Category:Meteorology

Same as recording rain gauge.

Category:Meteorology

Wind with a speed between 28 and 33 knots (32 and 38 mph); Beaufort scale number 7.

Category:Meteorology

Determination of the total amount of snow covering a watershed or a given region. Both depth and water content of the snow may be measured, and the results may be used to predict the amount of water that will be available after melting.

Category:Meteorology

A precipitation amount of less than 0.005 inches. Also, the record made by any self-registering instrument.

Category:Meteorology

A synoptic code approved by the World Meteorological Organization in which the observable meteorological elements are encoded and transmitted in "words" of five numerical digits length. Often abbreviated synoptic code.

Category:Meteorology

A line drawn through geographical points having the same duration of sunshine (or other function of solar radiation) during a given interval of time.

Category:Meteorology

Pertaining to rain, or more broadly, to precipitation.

Category:Meteorology

See foehn.

Category:Meteorology

A line drawn through all points on a map having the same amount of cloudiness.

Category:Meteorology

A small balloon whose ascent is followed by a theodolite in order to obtain data for the computation of winds aloft.

Category:Meteorology

An instrument for determining the degree of polarization of light. See photopolarimeter.

Category:Meteorology

Same as precipitation-evaporation ratio.

Category:Meteorology

A line drawn through points of equal humidity on given surface.
