Weather instruments are designed to measure one or multiple components of weather including wind speed and direction, rain or snow fall, solar radiation, temperature, pressure and humidity.  In some cases, these instruments are designed for incorporation into a weather station arrangement and can be mounted on a pole or base and remotely monitored. In other cases, these are individual sensors or instruments that can measure one aspect of weather. In all cases, the instruments and sensors are designed for environmental type applications, and often housings are ruggedized for these applications.
