Barometer
Used to determine atmospheric pressure – Two Types Aneroid Barometer - Expansion or contraction of the vacuum chamber, caused by a change in air pressure, forces the pointer to move. Mercurial Barometer – It uses a long glass tube, open at one end and closed at the other. Air pressure is measured by observing the height of the column of mercury in the tube.
Thermometer
is a device that measures temperature or temperature gradient using a variety of different principles
Hygrometer or Psychrometer Hygrometers are instruments used for measuring relative humidity. A simple form of a hygrometer is specifically known as a "psychrometer" and consists of two thermometers . Relative humidity is a term used to describe the amount of water vapor that exists in a gaseous mixture of air and water.
Anemometer
anemometer is a device for measuring wind speed, and is one instrument used in a weather station.
Wind Vane
A weather vane, also called a wind vane, is a movable device attached to an elevated object such as a roof for showing the direction of the wind. Very often these are in the shape of cockerels and are called weather cocks. Arrows are also popular, but a multitude of designs have been used.
Prop Anemometer
Helicoid propeller anemometer incorporating a wind vane for orientation.
