  3. Some call me a weatherman but I went to school to learn more and became a ……… • Scientists who studies and measures weather conditions. Meteorologist

  4. Meteorologist • Need to know how to use and read the following instruments:

  5. Thermometer • measures air temperature Galileo’s Thermometer Hot Fact 1593 Galileo Galilei invented the 1st Thermometer (on the left). Then in 1714 Gabriel Fahrenheit invented the 1st mercury thermometer with a F° scale. In 1743 Andrus Celsius created a thermometer with the Celsius scale.

  6. Barometer • measures pressure of the atmosphere (air pressure) Hot Fact- Evangelista Torricelli invented the mercury barometer in 1644.

  7. Anemometer • measures wind speed Hot Fact- Measures wind in revolutions per minute. Aircraft crews need to know the speed of the wind before taking off and landing.

  8. Weather Vane or Windsock • finds the wind’s direction • Hot Facts -The first metal wind vane was a Life-size Greek God, Triton, that was placed in Athens between 48 BC to 250 AD (This vane of Triton represented him traditionally with a human head and upper body and the tail of a fish. He also held a wand in his hand pointing the direction from which the wind blew.)

  9. Rain Gauge • measures the amount of liquid precipitation over a period of time Hot Fact- In 1441 King Sejong and his son invented the first rain gauge used as the official tool to assess land taxes based on farmer’s potential harvest.
