    A hygrometer is an instrument used for measuring the amount of humidity and water vapor in the atmosphere, in soil, or in confined spaces.
    A disdrometer is an instrument used to measure the drop size distribution and velocity of falling hydrometers. Some disdrometers can distinguish between rain, graupel, and hail. The uses for disdrometers are numerous.
    An anemometer is a device used for measuring the speed of wind, and is also a common weather station instrument.
    A Manometer is a device to measure pressures. A common si mple manomet er consist s of a U shaped tube of glass filled with some liquid. Typically the liquid is mercury because of its high density.
