In 1806, Francis Beaufort introduced his system for classifying wind speeds.
In 1783, the first hair hygrometer is demonstrated by Horace-Bénédict de Saussure. In 1742, Anders Celsius, a Swedish astronomer, proposed the 'centigrade' temperature scale, the predecessor of the current Celsius scale. In 1714, Gabriel Fahrenheit creates a reliable scale for measuring temperature with a mercury-type thermometer. In 1662, Sir Christopher Wren invented the mechanical, self-emptying, tipping bucket rain gauge. In 1643, Evangelista Torricelli invents the mercury barometer. In 1607, Galileo Galilei constructs a thermoscope. In 1450, Leone Battista Alberti developed a swinging-plate anemometer, and is known as the first anemometer. These were sent throughout the Joseon Dynasty of Korea as an official tool to assess land taxes based upon a farmer's potential harvest. In 1441, king Sejong's son, Prince Munjong, invented the first standardized rain gauge. Remote sensing instruments collect data from weather events some distance from the instrument and typically stores the data where the instrument is located and often transmits the data at defined intervals to central data centers. The 20th century developed new remote sensing tools, such as weather radars, weather satellites and wind profilers, which provide better sampling both regionally and globally. The 17th century saw the development of the barometer and the Galileo thermometer while the 18th century saw the development of the thermometer with the Fahrenheit and Celsius scales. Contentsĭevices used to measure weather phenomena in the mid-20th century were the rain gauge, the anemometer, and the hygrometer. Many attempts had been made prior to the 15th century to construct adequate equipment to measure atmospheric variables. Two other accurately measured weather-related variables are wind and humidity. Rain was one of the first quantities to be measured historically. In science, an observation, or observable, is an abstract idea that can be measured and for which data can be taken. Meteorology, however, is a science which does not use much laboratory equipment but relies more on on-site observation and remote sensing equipment. Each science has its own unique sets of laboratory equipment. Meteorological instruments or Weather instruments are the equipment used to find the state of the atmosphere at a given time.
