I. Direction:
Enumerate examples of hydrometeorological hazard maps used to reduce future
hazards in the community. (Give at least 3)
1. Flood map
2. Modified Coronas Climate Classification
3. Tipping bucket rain gauge
II. Name at least 10 of the hydro-meteorological equipment and device used
by meteorologist to detect the weather condition.
NAME PICTURE USES

Thermometers measure the high

and low outdoor temperatures in
degrees Fahrenheit and degrees
Celsius. Meteorologists first used
Daily temperatures liquid-in-glass thermometers in the
late 1800s, but they now use
electronic maximum-minimum
(Thermometer)
temperature sensor systems more
frequently. The newer systems use
an electronic temperature sensor to
measure and record high and low
temperatures.

Barometers measure atmospheric

pressure, providing the
measurement in millibars. Under
most conditions, high and rising
Atmospheric pressure pressure indicates sunny weather,
while low and falling pressure
indicates approaching rain. The
(Barometer)
traditional aneroid barometer first
appeared in the 1840s. The
microbarograph also measures air
pressure but records its continuous
measurements on paper.

Hygrometers measure temperature

and humidity using degrees Celsius
and degrees Fahrenheit. One type of
hygrometer, called a sling
Humidity sensors psychrometer, uses one dry and one
wet bulb thermometer to measure
the relative humidity of the air.
(Hygrometers)

Anemometers measure the direction

 and speed of wind in miles per hour.
A common type of anemometer has
Wind Speed three cups fixed to a mobile shaft.
As the wind blows faster, the cups
(Anemometers) spin around faster. The actual speed
of the wind shows up on a dial.
Another type of anemometer uses a
propeller instead of cups to
accomplish the same function.

A wind vane, also called a wind

sock, measures the direction of the
wind at any given point in time. A
weighted arrow spins around a fixed
shaft and points north, south, east or
Wind vane
west, typically marked on separate
fixed shafts parallel to the arrow.

A rain gauge measures the amount

of rainfall. The standard rain gauge
consists of a long, narrow cylinder
capable of measuring rainfall up to 8
inches. Many rain gauges measure
precipitation in millimeters, or to the
nearest 100th of an inch. Other
Rain Gauge
gauges collect the rain and weigh it,
later converting this measurement
into inches.

Hail pads measure the size of hail

that falls during a storm. A standard
hail pad consists of florist's foam and
aluminum foil. The falling hail strikes
the foil and creates dimples for the
Hail pads observer to measure after the storm.

The Campbell Stokes Recorder

measures sunshine. Sunlight shines
into one side of a glass ball and
Campbell strokes leaves through the opposite side in a
concentrated ray. This ray of light
recorder burns a mark onto a thick piece of
card. The extensiveness of the burn
mark indicates how many hours the
sun shone during that day.

 radar forms an integral part of any
weather instrumentation and is used,
primarily, to locate precipitation, track it
and estimate its type (snow, rain, etc)
and intensity. Radar can also be used to
forecast precipitation associated with
thunderstorms, hurricanes, and winter
Radar
storms.

III. Give one example of hydro-meteorological hazard map and analyze the
given map.

This is an example of hydro-meteorological

hazard map. A typhoon incidence
happened in the Philippines. It shows in
the map the color coded in each part of the
Philippines. In the upper part you can see
the shade of blue means that part has very
high risk of typhoon incident. Light blue for
High, skyblue for medium, green for low
and in the lower part has very low chance
of typhoon incident.
