It stands for Radio Detection and Ranging.
Radar is an electronic instrument, which determines the direction and distance of objects that reflect radio energy back to the radar site. Always keep an eye at the sky and you’ll usually be on top of weather conditions. YOUR EYES are one of the best ways to help detect the weather.
Then meteorologists compile and analyze the data with the help of computers. WEATHER SATELLITES are used to photograph and track large-scale air movements. Meteorologists use weather maps to forecast the weather.Ī HYGROMETER measures the water vapor content of air or the humidity.Ī WEATHER BALLOON measures weather conditions higher up in the atmosphere.Ī COMPASS is a navigational instrument for finding directions. WEATHER MAPS indicate atmospheric conditions above a large portion of the Earth’s surface. The dial shows the wind speed.Ī WIND SOCK is a conical textile tube, which resembles a giant sock, designed to indicate wind direction and relative wind speed. The cups catch the wind, turning a dial attached to the instrument. Water evaporates from the cloth, causing the temperatures on that thermometer to be lower than the other.Ī RAIN GAUGE measures the amount of rain that has fallen over a specific time period.Ī WIND VANE is an instrument that determines the direction from which the wind is blowing.Īn ANEMOMETER measures wind speed. Wet the cloth of one of the thermometers and swing the psychrometer around a few times. Two thermometers are used in a sling psychrometer. An Italian scientist named Torricelli built the first barometer in 1643.Ī SLING PSYCHROMETER measures relative humidity, using the cooling effect of evaporation. A rising barometer means sunny and dry conditions, while a falling barometer means stormy and wet conditions. It tells you whether or not the pressure is rising or falling.
A scale then shows what the actual temperature is.Ī BAROMETER measures air pressure. When air around the tube heats the liquid, the liquid expands and moves up the tube. Most thermometers are closed glass tubes containing liquids such as alcohol or mercury. A THERMOMETER measures the air temperature. This eagerly awaited new issue of TWM is sure to be a collector's favorite, each page filled with useful techniques and each subject a great source of inspiration for all modelers.ģ4.
The Weathering Magazine explains all painting and weathering with detailed "step-by-step" articles, showing how to perform each technique as illustrated through high-quality images and concise descriptions from some of the world's best modelers. There is much to learn from techniques used for civilian vehicles and Gundam subjects as well, and this issue includes both and of course, much more! As always, Aircraft are not immune to capture, in this issue we learn a great deal from modeling a truly unique Bf 109 wearing Soviet red stars. We also include two well-known AFV examples with an M3 in the service of the Soviet Army and a T-34 captured by the Germans. Here we will learn which techniques will be the most appropriate to transform the exterior aspects of a locomotive. We will explore the unique aspects of applying the new paint schemes and symbols, learn to represent the wear and the passage of time on both factory and hastily repainted camouflage.
In this issue, we focus on subjects that for various reasons, are in service of owners other than the original. The Weathering Magazine is the only magazine devoted entirely to painting techniques and the ageing of scale models and figures. The Weathering magazine 24 - UNDER NEW MANAGEMENT (ENG e-verzia)
