River Observing Station: An established location along a river designated for observing and measuring properties of the river.
meteorological observing station"Place where hydrometeorological observations are made with approval of the WMO member or members concerned.
Station ModelA specified pattern for plotting, on a weather map, the meteorological symbols that represent the state of the weather at a particular observing station.Station PressureThe absolute air pressure at a given reporting station.
Radiosonde recorder An instrument, located at the surface observing station, which is used to record the data presented by a radiosonde aloft.
Basic weather data are obtained from more than 60 Bureau-staffed observing stations around Australia, on offshore islands, and in the Antarctic.
The GAW consists of a worldwide system of observing stations and supporting facilities providing data for atmospheric assessments, ...
surface wind - The wind measured at a surface observing station. This wind is customarily measured at a standard distance above the ground to minimize the distorting effects of local obstacles and terrain.
A regional network of observing stations (usually surface stations) designed to diagnose mesoscale weather features and their associated processes.
Mesopause ...
Mesonet - A regional network of observing stations (usually surface stations) designed to diagnose mesoscale weather features and their associated processes.
Past weather Predominant characteristic of the weather which had existed at an observing station during a given period of time (during the preceding hour or six hours), specified in the international SYNOP code.
station pressure—The actual atmospheric pressure at the observing station.
steam fog—Fog formed when cold air moves over relatively warm water or wet ground.
Station Model In the meteorological community this refers to a specific set of symbols and a pattern for using them to show the state of the weather at each observing station plotted on the map.
Station pressure The actual air pressure computed at the observing station.
Steam fog See Evaporation fog.
It is necessary to convert the pressure readings to equivalent mean sea level pressures, otherwise the horizontal changes in pressure would be overwhelmed by vertical variations simply due to differences in altitude between observing stations.
The dew point is calculated then at constant pressure and humidity mixing ratio. Dew point temperature (or dew point as it is often called) is reported at many weather observing stations.
