Instructor's Handbook on Meteorological Instrumentation

Chapter 3 reviews basic calibration standards. Chapter 4 discusses sensors and transducers commonly used to obtain environmental measurements of temperature, humidity, wind, pressure, solar and terrestrial radiation, precipitation, and evaporation. Part 2: Chapter 5 discusses the field environment with regard to exposure, platforms, maintenance, and data quality assurance.

Chapter 6 develops the concept of a complete measurement system from a simple sensor and visual indicator through complex sensors, automated analog to digital conversion, and recording assemblages. Chapter 7 deals with digital data processing to achieve high information content. Appendices A,B,C,D,E. Conference Contributors: C.
