Weather Measurement Tools and Concepts

The video tutorial introduces weather and climate tools, explaining how they measure atmospheric conditions. It covers the difference between weather and climate, and discusses tools like rain gauges, thermometers, hygrometers, wind vanes, anemometers, weather balloons, barometers, and satellites. The video also explains how these tools help predict weather and analyze climate data over time.

What is the primary difference between weather and climate?

• Weather is the current condition of the air, while climate is a pattern over time.

• Weather is a long-term pattern, while climate is a short-term condition.

• Weather is unpredictable, while climate is always predictable.

• Weather is measured globally, while climate is measured locally.

Who are the professionals responsible for predicting the weather?

• Meteorologists

• Geologists

• Astronomers

• Oceanographers

Which tool is used to measure the amount of rainfall?

• Hygrometer
