Gathering Weather Data

Collecting Surface Data Thermometer – measures temp Barometer – measures pressure Anemometer – measures wind speed Hygrometer – measures relative humidity

Upper Level Data Radiosonde – Weather balloon

Weather Radar uses electromagnetic waves to find larger cloud droplets used to pinpoint rainfall uses electromagnetic waves to find larger cloud droplets collected by antennae on ground

Weather Satellite cameras on satellites take pictures of Earth data is sent to ground stations these track cloud cover

Infrared Satellite detect differences in thermal energy infrared images detect the different temps of clouds

Satellite/Radar Combined
