What instruments does the meteorological station have?

Meteorological Observatory has the following basic instruments:

1. thermometer: instruments used to measure air temperature, such as ordinary thermometer, maximum and minimum thermometer and electronic thermometer.

2. Barometer: an instrument used to measure atmospheric pressure, such as ordinary barometer, mercury barometer and mercury-free barometer;

3. Humidity meter: instruments used to measure air humidity, such as hygrometer, hygrometer, electronic hygrometer, etc.

4. Anemometer: an instrument used to measure wind speed, such as anemometer, wind vane, wind pole, etc. Among them, anemometers can be divided into mechanical anemometers and electronic anemometers;

5. Anemometer: an instrument used to measure wind direction, such as anemometer, wind vane, wind flag, etc.

6. Precipitation meter: an instrument used to measure precipitation, such as rain gauge, snow gauge, rain gauge, etc.

7. Radiometer: instruments used to measure solar radiation and ground radiation, such as radiometer, radiometer, ultraviolet measuring instrument, etc.

8. Cloudometer: an instrument used to measure clouds, such as a cloudometer, a cloudometer, a sky camera, etc.

9. Radar: an instrument for detecting and tracking weather systems (such as precipitation and storms), which can provide a wide range of weather information;

10, meteorological satellite: satellite equipment used to obtain images and data of large-scale weather systems on earth;

The main duties of the Meteorological Observatory are as follows:

1. Take the lead in organizing the design of meteorological business, ecological and agro-meteorological business and environmental meteorological business systems, organize the implementation of business scientific research projects, and formulate business norms and standards;

2 to undertake meteorological monitoring and forecasting in major regions of the country and the world, and to undertake early warning of meteorological disasters in China and its responsible sea areas;

3. To undertake typhoon and marine meteorological monitoring, forecasting and early warning services in China and major regions of the world;

4, undertake the national hydrological, geological disasters, environment, aviation and other professional weather forecasting business.

To sum up, the above instruments are only a common part of meteorological stations. In fact, weather stations may also be equipped with other special instruments and equipment, such as lightning detectors, ozone detectors, weather radars, etc. To meet different observation and forecasting needs.
