Radiation with wavelengths greater than 4 microns. (In meteorology, same as infrared radiation.)

Category:Meteorology

Wind with a speed between 11 and 16 knots (13 and 18 mph); Beaufort scale number 4.

Category:Meteorology

A pressure tube anemometer, consisting of a pitot tube mounted on the windward end of a wind vane and a suitable manometer to measure the developed pressure and calibrated in units of wind.

Category:Meteorology

modulated radiosonde-A radiosonde which transmits the indications of the meteorological sensing elements in the form of pulses spaced in time. The meteorological data are evaluated from the intervals between the pulses. Also called timeinterval radiosonde ...

Category:Meteorology

An instrument which automatically records the measurement of two or more meteorological elements.

Category:Meteorology

A device which converts energy from one form into another, i.e. an ac generator transducer which converts the mechanical motion of anemometer cups into an electrical signal.

A recording siphon barometer.

Category:Meteorology

A unit of luminance or brightness equal to 1/d candles per foot'.

Category:Meteorology

A unit of illuminance or illumination equal to one lumen per foot'. This is the illuminance provided by a light source of one candle at a distance of one foot.

Same as pitot tube.

Category:Meteorology

Moisture contained in the soil above the water table, including water vapor which is present in the soil pores. In some cases this term refers strictly to the humidity contained in the root zone of plants.

Category:Meteorology

Snow shower, particularly of a very light and brief nature.

As used by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, the departure (in

Category:Meteorology

A local variation in the wind direction or speed. This condition can present danger to aircraft, especially at landing, when a sudden shift from headwind to tailwind can cause a rapid loss of airspeed and lift.

Frozen or partly frozen rain.

Category:Meteorology

The line-of-sight distance between two objects.

Category:Meteorology

A set of rules or conventions used to standardize data transfer between devices.

Category:Meteorology

Precipitation of very small, white opaque particles of ice, fairly flat or elongated, with diameters less than 1 mm. The solid equivalent of drizzle.

Category:Meteorology

Tables prepared from the psychrometric formula and used to obtain vapor pressure, relative humidity, and dew point from values of wet-bulb and dry-bulb temperatures.

Category:Meteorology

Atmospheric layer throughout which there is no change of temperature with height, i.e. a zero lapse rate.
