A
weather
station is a facility with instruments and equipment to
make observations of
atmospheric conditions in order to provide information to
make
weather forecasts and to study the
weather and
climate. The measurements taken include
temperature,
barometric pressure,
humidity,
wind speed,
wind direction, and
precipitation amounts. Wind measurements are taken as free
of other obstructions as possible, while temperature and humidity
measurements are kept free from direct solar radiation, or
insolation. Manual observations are taken at least once daily,
while automated observations are taken at least once an hour.
Weather
Stations are available as
wireless
or wired
versions. Wireless Weather Stations have no connecting wires from
the sensors to the weather console. They transmit the weather
information by radio signals. Wired Weather stations have cables
connecting the sensors to the weather console.
Weather
Stations may include the following weather instruments:
