Automatic transmission of data, in a format such as METAR, is also desirable as many weather station's data is required for weather forecasting.Ī personal weather station is a set of weather measuring instruments operated by a private individual, club, association, or business (where obtaining and distributing weather data is not a part of the entity's business operation).
Meteorological instruments and their uses introduction manual#
The instrumentation may be specialized to allow for periodic recording otherwise significant manual labour is required for record keeping. More sophisticated stations may also measure the ultraviolet index, leaf wetness, soil moisture, soil temperature, water temperature in ponds, lakes, creeks, or rivers, and occasionally other data.Įxcept for those instruments requiring direct exposure to the elements (anemometer, rain 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.
