Difficulty: MediumWeather Elements, Instruments, and Measurements

Match each meteorological instrument on the left with the atmospheric parameter it is designed to measure on the right.

  • AnemometerWind speed
  • Hygrometer (Psychrometer)Relative humidity
  • BarometerAtmospheric pressure
  • Campbell-Stokes RecorderDuration of bright sunshine

Answer

Anemometer matches with Wind speed; Hygrometer (Psychrometer) matches with Relative humidity; Barometer matches with Atmospheric pressure; Campbell-Stokes Recorder matches with Duration of bright sunshine.
Each weather instrument is correctly matched with its specific target parameter: the anemometer measures wind speed, the hygrometer/psychrometer measures atmospheric moisture or relative humidity, the barometer measures air pressure, and the Campbell-Stokes recorder logs the duration of sunshine.

Step-by-Step Solution

1
Identify the primary function of each meteorological instrument listed on the left.
Anemometer = wind speed measure; Hygrometer = humidity measure; Barometer = pressure measure; Campbell-Stokes Recorder = sunshine duration measure.
Each instrument has a unique design targeted at recording a specific weather element.
2
Pair each instrument to its corresponding atmospheric parameter.
Match left_1 to right_4, left_2 to right_3, left_3 to right_2, and left_4 to right_1.
This establishes accurate instrument-parameter alignment without misattributing measurement functions.
