The document discusses the use of universal weather symbols on maps to represent various meteorological conditions, including wind direction, cloud cover, and sea conditions. It also describes the instruments used to measure temperature, humidity, and atmospheric pressure, detailing their functions and how they operate. Additionally, it provides examples of how to interpret these measurements and symbols for weather forecasting.

(C) Weather Symbols
We have already studied that weather conditions are
shown on maps with the help of symbols in present
times. These symbols are recognised universally and
therefore, their use in all countries of the world is
made to connote the same meanings. Main
international weather symbols are given below.
1. Symbols of wind direction and velocity.
Wind direction and velocity is represented in
weather maps by symbols of shape similar to arrows
(Fig.16). The shaft of this arrow shows the wind
direction and number of oblique lines and triangles

ThermometerPRRPRE. umiaty Measuring Instruments
The amount of water vapour present in the
atmosphere of the earth is called atmospheric humidity,
‘Water vapour is found in small amounts (0-3%) inthe
atmosphere, however, it is an important element of
climate and weather. The proportion of different gases
near the surface remains almost the ‘same, but the amountwa
—y~
mer and water vapour varies, locally and
«ally. Absolute humidity ithe actual amount of
yy ver vapour at & particular time ina given volume of air
wige atmosphere. The relative humidity is the
stage value of the absolute humidity and the
writ capacity of the air at a given temperature.
‘The key tools for recording relative humidity are
ssfollows:
1,Wetand Dry Bulb Thermometer
This instrument has two thermometers in a wood
fame, in which one thermometer’s bulb is uncovered,
uihich is called a dry bulb thermometer. The second
thermometer bulb is covered with a piece of fabric andthe lower part of the fabric is immersed in a small
container full of water, This is called a wet-bulb
thermometer, The amount of relative humidity is known
through a table based on the difference between dry
and humid thermometer. (Table 11.2)
Example 1.1: If the temperature of the dry bulb is
75°F and the wet-bulb temperature is 60°F, then what
is the relative humidity?
Solution :
Dry bull temperature = 75° F
Wet-bulb temperature = 60° F
Difference of temperature of both bulbs
= 75°F 60°F = 15°F
According to Table 11.2, the number written below
the 75° Fand at difference of 15 is 40. So that the relative
humidity is 40%.
2. Hair Hygrometer
This device was invented in 1783 AD by De
Saussure. It works on the principle that the human hair
contracts or enlarged with the increase and decrease in
relative humidity. The hair ofa length of 8 to 10 inches is
fastened on a needle dial passing over a pulley. The
pulley is connected to an index that moves over a
graduated scale. The relative humidity is read on a scale
0f0%- 100%,WET AND DRY BULB.

Fig. 11.3: Wet and Dry Bulb Thermometer11.4.3 Atmospheric Pressure Measuring
Instruments
The force exerted on the surface of the earth by
the air in the atmosphere as it is pulled by gravity. is
called air pressure. The air pressure is measured in inches,
millimeters and millibars (Mb) by devices known as
Barometers. A millibar is equal to a pressure of 1000
dynes per square centimeter (A dyne is the force applied
to amass of one gram in one second that will produce a
velocity of one-cm per second). Generally, air pressure
is influenced by height from the mean sea level, distance3. Aneroid Barometer
‘Aneroid barometer does not have any liquid or
‘mercury in it. Itis an airless table clock-like device made
of metal. Ithas flexible metal cover over which contains
a dial. The dial has the value of air pressure units in
inches or millibars. A needle is inserted in the middle ofthe dial which moves according to the change in air
pressure onthe lid. This needle points at the values of
air pressure which is recorded. Apart from the unit of air
pressure, there are few other weather conditions directly
associated with air pressure those are also mentioned
con the dial like dry, open sky, rainfall, storm, etc., which
indicates the possible weather condition.ANEROID BAROMETER

Measuring Instruments
When the atmospheric air blows horizontally from
place to another ina certain direction, itis called wind,
Both the velocity and direction of the wind are
Tepresented on a weather map, The direction from which
the wind blow is considered as the direction of the wind.
The direction and speed of wind are influenced by the
Surface elevations, so the direction and wind speed is
‘measured at an altitude of about 10 meters from the
mean sea level.
There is a close connection between the pressure
‘gradient and wind blow. The difference between the air
Pressure of the two places is called pressure gradient
and is responsible for wind blow. When the isobars are
close, meaning thatthe air pressure is changing at small
distances, the pressure gradient is considered to be
high and when the isobars are at large distances, thenthe pressure gradient is low. The wind blows from hig,
pressure areas to low pressure areas. Generally, the wing
velocity depends on the pressure gradient and the wing
direction is determined by the pressure gradient ang
coriolis force.
The key instruments for recording Wind, direction
and velocity are as follows:
Wind Vane
Wind vane is used to record the direction ofthe
wind, It is a simple device in which an arrow is fitted
with a bearing on a pole on ahigher ground or on top of
a building, The arrow is kept horizontal. As the witd
blow, the arrow points towards the direction of the wind
The direction in which the tip of the arrow is pointed
the direction of the wind.TT
WIND VANE
Arrow
Bearing2. Anemometer
Anemometer is used to measure wind speed and
direction. It consists of four hemispherical cups
mounted on horizontal rods attached to a vertical pole
with a bearing for smooth movement. A meter is placed
at the base of this device to record the wind speed.-——_ ANEMOGRAPH

Cup
Fig. 11.8 : Anemometer
According to the speed of the wind, strings engaged in
iispherical cups rotate and mark the wind speed on
te device under the main rod. ,
The value inscribed by the anemometer is
"verted into a Beaufort scale according to the table,
hich reflects the actual speed of the wind.
ll1145 Precipitation Measuring Instruments
Precipitation is any liquid or frozen water that forms
inthe atmosphere and falls back to the earth. It comes in
any forms like rain, sleet and snow etc. Rainfall is one
ofthe most important form in this, the following devices
aeused for recording rainfall:
Gauge
Itis a device that measure the quantity of rainfall
ina given period in a particular place. This device is
Tounted on a metal stand. It consists a cylinder and a
‘imel placed on its mouth, which is attached toa tube.

12.4 GRAPHICAL REPRESENTATION I
Graphs are drawn to represent a comparison |
between two geographical entities or a continuous treng
of any feature. Graphs are easy to read and more accu
than many of their counterparts. The curvilines,
representation of areal and periodical trends of
geographical facts on graph paper with the help of o-
ordinates is known as graph. These are generally drawn
to show the relationship between time and certain
elements.

9. Ergograph
An ergograph represents the “intettelationg
‘between climate, seasons and crops. The cycle of,
cultivation corresponds closely with he seasons, Ine
ergograph, temperature and humidity are shown wit
‘diagram. The vertical scale shows temperature, relative
humidity (%) and average monthly rainfall (cm).
‘The horizontal axis shows months, the crop area
(hectare) and the growing season is also represented |
by joining various rectangles according to a suitable
scale. The width of a rectangle is obtained by dividing
= z
area with the Jength of growing season,

Width of the rectangle for each erop can be

In this way Length ~ Width ~ Area
