NOAA National Centers for Environmental Information custodian anemometer anemometer measures wind speed An anemometer is an instrument that measures wind speed. Note that an aerovane (insttypes_id 175) is an anemometer which has a tail and a propeller to measure the speed and direction of the wind. barometric pressure sensor barometric pressure sensor instrument used to measure the atmospheric pressure. conductivity sensor conductivity sensor OMEGA non-contact conductivity sensor CDCN-108 or Honeywell DirectLine DL423 Sensor Module, for example Water conductivity sensors are used to measure how well a solution conducts an electrical current. GPS GPS Global Positioning System receiver satellite-based instrument used for geo-location, positioning and navigation humidity sensor humidity sensor HUMIDITY SENSORS are devices that receive a signal or stimulus (as heat or pressure or light or motion etc.) and responds to it, in this case humidity or some measure of the water vapor content of air. temperature sensor temperature sensor A sensor used to measure temperature. thermometer thermometer generic thermometer or reversing thermometer use thermometer when temperature is a data type, but the exact instrument used to measure temperature is unknown CBIBS Buoys A moored surface buoy. The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administrations (NOAA) Chesapeake Bay Interpretive Buoy System (CBIBS) is a network of observing platforms (buoys) that collect meteorological, oceanographic, and water-quality data and relay that information using wireless technology to a variety of users. The CBIBS "smart buoys": deliver real-time data on weather, water conditions, and water quality; support high-quality science education and enhance the delivery of experiential outdoor education; and interpret points along the Captain John Smith Chesapeake National Historic Trail and enhance the experience of trail users.
