psychrometer : an instrument used to determine relative humidity
hygrometer : an instrument for measuring atmospheric humidity
anemometer : an instrument for measuring wind speed using cupped scoops mounted on a rotating shaft
rawinsonde : a pilot balloon carrying a radio transmitter so it can be tracked when visibility is low
fiducial points : any of one or more fixed reference points that anchor a measurement scale to some easily determined physical quantity
rain gauge : a cylindrical or tipping device used to measure the amount of rain that falls in a given period
