Atmospheric Sensors

Atmospheric Sensors

Atmospheric sensors detect temperature, humidity, and barometric pressure. With unique capabilities, they’re commonly used by forecasters and researchers. However, novice weather enthusiasts can use an atmospheric pressure sensor as well.

Air Temperature

Atmospheric sensors that detect temperature are thermistor devices. Based on the current conditions, the sensor’s electrical resistance changes. A reference voltage applied to the sensor views the voltage signal received, which is how it comes up with an accurate calculation.

Barometric Pressure

Another atmospheric pressure sensor measures the level of air pressure in the atmosphere. The internal aneroid cell measures the degree of weight produced by air molecules. Most often, meteorologists use these atmospheric sensors to forecast the weather.

Humidity

You can also purchase an atmospheric pressure sensor for humidity. This device detects changes that alter either the temperature or the electrical currents in the air.
