weather monitoring
Atmospheric observation system
Weather monitoring is the systematic observation and measurement of atmospheric conditions such as temperature, humidity, precipitation, wind speed, and barometric pressure.
This ongoing process uses instruments ranging from simple thermometers and rain gauges to sophisticated satellite systems and radar networks.
Data from weather monitoring supports forecasting, climate research, aviation safety, and agricultural planning.
The weather monitoring station recorded unusually high winds overnight.
