Category:Meteorology

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

Category:Meteorology

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

Category:Meteorology

See constant-level balloon.

Category:Meteorology

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

Same as recording rain gauge.

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

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

Category:Meteorology

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

Category:Meteorology

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

Category:Meteorology

See foehn.

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

Pertaining to rain, or more broadly, to precipitation.

Category:Meteorology

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

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

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

Category:Meteorology

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

Category:Meteorology

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

Category:Meteorology

Same as precipitation-evaporation ratio.
