weather stations
Atmospheric data collectors
Weather stations are facilities or devices that measure atmospheric conditions—temperature, humidity, precipitation, wind speed, barometric pressure.
They range from sophisticated installations run by meteorological agencies to simple home setups with a thermometer and rain gauge.
Data from networks of weather stations feeds forecasts and climate research: The weather station recorded three inches of rain overnight.
