The second edition has been fully updated throughout with new material, new instruments and technologies, and the latest reference and research materials. Traditional and modern weather instruments are covered, including how best to choose and to site a weather station, how to get the best out of your equipment, how to store and analyse your records and how to share your observations. The book's emphasis is on modern electronic instruments and automatic weather stations. It provides advice on replacing 'traditional' mercury-based thermometers and barometers with modern digital sensors, following implementation of the UN Minamata Convention outlawing mercury in the environment. The Weather Observer's Handbook will again prove to be an invaluable resource for both amateur observers choosing their first weather instruments and professional observers looking for a comprehensive and up-to-date guide. * This second edition has been fully updated throughout with new material, new instruments and technologies, and the latest reference and research materials * Updated to reflect the progressive withdrawal of mercury-based meteorological instrumentation arising from the UN Minamata Convention, presenting the best methods for their replacement with modern digital sensors * Follows the most up-to-date guidelines set out by the World Meteorological Organization, including full details of site classification for air temperature, precipitation, wind speed and direction, and sunshine and solar radiation measurements TABLE OF CONTENTS Part I.
