meteorograph
/ˈmiːtɪərə(ʊ)ɡrɑːf
/noun archaic
An apparatus that records several meteorological phenomena at the same time.The advent of airplanes carrying meteorographs hastened the demise of kite observation stations....
- In most cases, data collected with the meteorograph is recovered only when the instrument is jettisoned from the balloon or airplane carrying it.
- However, the records of temperature and humidity could not be examined until the meteorograph had been recovered, and they were not therefore an immediate aid for forecasting.
