Detailed explanation-1: -Air temperature is measured with a thermometer. A thermometer is a glass tube with a narrow inner column filled with a liquid. As the temperature rises, the liquid inside is heated and expands toward the top of the column. It stops rising when it is the same temperature as the surrounding air that is being measured.
Detailed explanation-2: -Basic weather observation instruments include thermometers, rain gauges, barometers, and anemometers (wind speed meters). Examples of more sophisticated equipment are wind profilers, weather balloons (radiosondes), Doppler radar, and satellites.
Detailed explanation-3: -In meteorology, atmospheric pressure is reported in hectopascals (hPa). 1 hPa is equal to 100 Pa, the pascal being the basic SI (System of International Unit) . 1 Pa is equal to 1 Newton per square meter (N/m2).
Detailed explanation-4: -One property of air that can be measure is its temperature. Air temperature is measured with thermometers. Common thermometers consist of a liquid-in-glass tube attached to a scale. The scale can be marked (graduated) in degrees Celsius (°C) or degrees Fahrenheit (°F) or both.
