  • Stevenson Screens: Common Instruments & Their Uses
    A Stevenson screen does not store instruments, it houses them.

    Here's what's typically found inside a Stevenson screen:

    * Thermometers:

    * Maximum thermometer: Records the highest temperature reached during a period.

    * Minimum thermometer: Records the lowest temperature reached during a period.

    * Dry-bulb thermometer: Measures the air temperature.

    * Wet-bulb thermometer: Measures the temperature of a wetted bulb, used to calculate humidity.

    * Hygrometer: Measures relative humidity.

    * Barometer: Measures atmospheric pressure.

    Note: The specific instruments may vary depending on the purpose of the screen and the location.

    The Stevenson screen is designed to protect these instruments from direct sunlight, precipitation, and wind, ensuring accurate readings.
