An Anemometer is a mechanical instrument used to measure the speed of the wind.
LAND BREEZE
⚜ What is a Land Breeze? ⚜
A Land Breeze is a breeze that blows from land to water during the night.
Due to the land cooling faster than the water, warmer air from the water rises and cool air from the land flows in.
SEA BREEZE
⚜ What is a Sea Breeze? ⚜
A Sea Breeze is a breeze that blows from water to land during daytime.
Due to the land heating faster than the water, warmer land air rises and cool air from the water flows in.
TORNADOES
⚜ What are Tornadoes? ⚜
Tornadoes are concentrated and deep areas of low pressure. They are circular whirlpools that develop during severe thunderstorms. The air pressure is lowest in the center of the tornado.
DUST DEVILS
⚜ What are Dust Devils? ⚜
Dust Devils are local low pressure areas that occur on hot dry days over land. The hot air rises and cool air fills in below, producing the circulation.
HYGROMETER
⚜ What is a Hygrometer? ⚜
An Hygrometer is an instrument used to measure the moisture content of air.
AIR MASS
⚜ What is an Air Mass? ⚜
Air Masses are large areas within the Troposphere with uniform temperature and water vapour, much like an Air Parcel.
Continental Air Masses form over land and contain dry air.
Maritime Air Masses form over water and contain humid air.
FRONTS
⚜ What are Fronts? ⚜
The zone or boundary where two different air masses meet is called a Front.
Changes in weather occur where the Fronts interact along their boundaries.
Types of Fronts include the Warm Front, the Cold Front, the Stationary Front and the Occluded Front.
FOG
⚜ What is Fog? ⚜
Fog is a cloud resting on the ground and forms when the air cools below the dewpoint.
Types of fog include Radiation Fog, Steam Fog and Ice Fog.

ANEROID BAROMETER
⚜ What is an Aneroid Barometer? ⚜
An aneroid barometer is a mechanical instrument used for measuring air pressure and does not use a liquid.
An aneroid barometer uses metal disks and springs within a vacuum.
OCCLUSION
⚜ What is an Occlusion? ⚜
Occlusion is a term used in Meterology meaning the lifting of a warm air mass by a cold air mass.
RADIOSONDE
⚜ What is a Radiosonde? ⚜
A Radiosonde is a weather instrument carried by ballon to the upper atmosphere to broadcast by radio current weather conditions.
