Instrumentation and Measurement of Atmospheric Pressure

The University Corporation for Atmospheric Research, 2018

This lesson provides information about current science and technologies for measuring atmosphere pressure. The lesson begins by reviewing the key physical laws governing atmospheric pressure, including Dalton's Law of Partial Pressures. Then, it explores typical requirements and uncertainty parameters related to atmospheric pressure sensors and provides details about the components of pressure sensors, including fluidic, mechanical, and electronic transducers. The lesson is part of the Instrumentation and Measurement of Atmospheric Parameters course series.

Weather Observing Fundamentals

The University Corporation for Atmospheric Research, 2014

"Weather Observing Fundamentals" provides guidance for U.S. Navy Aerographer's Mates, Quartermasters, and civilian observers tasked with taking and reporting routine, special, and synoptic observations. Although the focus of this lesson is on shipboard observations, much of the content applies to land-based observing and reporting as well. The lesson details standard procedures for taking accurate weather observations and for encoding those observations on COMNAVMETOCCOM Report 3141/3. Exercises throughout the lesson and four weather identification drills at the end provide learners with oppor ...

The lesson details standard procedures for taking accurate weather observations and for encoding those observations on COMNAVMETOCCOM Report 3141/3. Exercises throughout the lesson and four weather identification drills at the end provide learners with opportunities to practice and build their skills. The lesson covers a large amount of content. You may wish to work through the material in multiple sessions.

IOM Report, 46. The WMO automatic digital barometer intercomparison

World Meteorological Organization (WMO) ; Ministerie van Verkeer en Waterstaat Koninklijk (Nederlands) - WMO, 1992 (WMO/TD-No. 474)

The first WMO Automatic Digital Barometer Intercomparison was held in De Bilt, the Netherlands at the Royal Netherlands Meteorological Institute from begin 1989 to July 1991. Thirty-three instruments of 14 different designs were entered by nine Members of WMO 1). This report contains a description of the procedures followed, the data acquisition, the data analysis, and a technical description of the principles of the instruments. Finally the results of the intercomparison are given in a general table and the result per instrument in detail. The report also includes recommendations for operatio ...
