verted to windspeed and direction in a manner
similar to that when the balloon was observed
visually (a above).
c. Surface Atmospheric Pressure. Surface
atmospheric pressure is obtained through obser-
vation of readings obtained from the barometer
(fig. 1-9 and 110). The barometer indicates at-
mospheric pressure directly in millibars ML102
B, D, E, F, and G) and inches of mercury
(ML-102-B, -E, -F).
d. Surface Wind Direction and Speed. Surface
wind direction and speed are obtained through the
observation of indications on the anemometer (fig.
1-8). The velometer on
the anemometer gives in-
dications of windspeed in knots and the compass
indicates direction of the wind.
e. Surface Temperature. Temperatures are ob-
tained through the use of the general and/or
f. Surface Relative Humidity. Data required
for the computation of surface relative humidity
is obtained through the indications provided by
Figure l-3O. Tripod.
