Zorluk: OrtaWeather Elements, Instruments, and Measurements

During a fieldwork exercise at a coastal weather station, students were tasked with recording atmospheric pressure and wind speed. Which pair of instruments correctly matches these two weather elements to their corresponding measuring devices?

  1. Barometer for atmospheric pressure and Anemometer for wind speedCevap
  2. B
    Hygrometer for atmospheric pressure and Anemometer for wind speed
  3. C
    Barometer for atmospheric pressure and Wind vane for wind speed
  4. D
    Psychrometer for atmospheric pressure and Barometer for wind speed

Cevap

The barometer is used to measure atmospheric pressure, while the anemometer is used to measure wind speed.
Atmospheric pressure is the force per unit area exerted against a surface by the weight of the atmosphere, measured using a barometer. Wind speed is the velocity of airflow, measured using a cup anemometer. Therefore, pairing the barometer for atmospheric pressure and the anemometer for wind speed correctly identifies both instruments.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Identify the instrument used for measuring atmospheric pressure
A barometer (either mercury or aneroid) measures atmospheric pressure in units such as millibars (mb) or hectopascals (hPa).
Atmospheric pressure is the weight exerted by the atmosphere per unit area.
2
Identify the instrument used for measuring wind speed
An anemometer (typically a cup anemometer) measures wind speed.
Wind speed measures the velocity of moving air, distinct from wind direction which is measured by a wind vane.
3
Select the correct combination matching both parameters
The option pairing the barometer for atmospheric pressure and the anemometer for wind speed is correct.
Both instruments are correctly linked to their respective atmospheric variables.
