Meteorological instruments are the equipment used for the measurement of different weather parameters such as temperature, pressure, humidity, wind speed, cloud cover, precipitation (rain/snow), net (incoming - outgoing) solar radiation. Different meteorological instruments are as follows,

Thermometer - air temperature,

Barometer - air pressure,

Hygrometer - humidity,

Anemometer - wind speed,

Ceilometer - Cloud cover,

Rain/Snow gauge - precipitation

Pyranometer/ Pyrheliometer - net radiation,

Apart from these there are air quality sensor, radiosondes, ozonosondes etc for the measurement of various gas contents in a particular air column.
