What is it?

Why is Measuring Tool needed?
• Not all events or an case based on Climatology can be accurately
expressed with an estimate/feeling, a measuring instrument is
needed to express it in numbers or quantitative measurement results.
Ex :
• Temperature >>> hot , how hot is the temperature ?
• Wind >>> blows very fast , how fast ?
• Exposure time >>> long enough per day , how many hours?

So you need the right measurement instrument (tool) accompanied by

high accuracy so that the data obtained is valid, relevant and actual .

Part II
• you are asked to make a table about the introduction of rain gauges, air
humidity meters, and air temperature gauges
• What you need to pay attention to is:
- tool's name
- image that matches the tool
- Description of the parts on the measuring tool
- units of measurement
- Sensor or signal receiver
- Function
- how to install in garden station tools
- How it works and the concept of the tool

PRACTICAL METHOD (Online)
• Look for the image of the measuring tool that you want to review in Part 2,
then print it, try to get the image that is appropriate and complete
• Then print the image (in color)
• Cut out the picture of the measuring tool so it's neat
• Paste it on the identification table of the measuring tool, adjust it to the
size of the box (tool column) in the table when printing the tool image so
the size does not exceed the tool column, the size of the tool introduction
table is A4
• Fill in the name of the tool, function, sensor, working method, etc. in neat,
appropriate, and clear handwriting
• Data on tools used in offline practicums can be requested from class
representatives or groups

PRACTICAL METHOD (Offline)
• practicum participants come to the laboratory (P202)
• Analyze the tools that have been provided
• The results of the analysis must first be written on the interim report
sheet
• ask the practicum assistant to validate the data obtained during the
practicum
• The data obtained can be insert or discussed in the practicum
report/lab report
