What Is A Storm Glass And How Does It Work To Forecast The Weather?
Some weather enthusiasts may have heard of a meteorological instrument called a storm glass, also known as a weather globe. But what is this meteorological instrument, and where did it originate?
A storm glass is a meteorological instrument primarily used during the 19th century to predict the weather. It consists of a sealed glass tube filled with chemicals dissolved in distilled water. Weather predictions were based on the amount of crystallization and fogginess occurring in the liquid.
They may have different names but are all one and the same thing. They come in a variety of shapes and sizes. Many also come with different colored liquids, as they are mostly used for ornamental purposes nowadays.
A little more than a century ago, these instruments were considered serious meteorological devices that were widely used to predict the weather. It became especially popular in Britain during the mids. (More on its history a little later in this article.)
A Short History Of The Storm Glass
For some reason, the real inventor of the storm glass is unknown. What we do know, however, is that a Br Storm glass là một dụng cụ khí tượng dùng để dự báo thời tiết. Công cụ này đã được giới thiệu từ những năm nhưng chỉ được theo dõi thử nghiệm bởi đô đốc Robert FitzRoy trên chiếc HMS Beagle khi thực hiện chuyến thám hiểm với Charles Darwin vào năm Bên cạnh sự nghiệp hải quân của mình, FitzRoy cũng là một trong những người tiên phong trong lĩnh vực khí tượng. FitzRoy đã chuẩn bị cho việc nghiên cứu khí tượng khi nhận được hợp đồng cho việc thực hiện một chuyến thám hiểm với Darwin và ông đã mang theo các công cụ như các loại đồng hồ có độ chính xác cao, các loại áp kế khác nhau, chuyến đi này cũng là lúc thử nghiệm thang sức gió Beaufort lần đầu tiên cho một chiếc thuyền buồm. Một trong những thứ được xếp vào loại áp kế được mang theo là storm glass. Sau một thời gian theo dõi storm glass thì kết quả mà ông thu được là: Throughout history, scientists have been inventing devices to help predict the weather. Some of the best-known names in history have dabbled in the science of weather forecasting — Leonardo da Vinci invented an early anemometer and hygrometer, for example, and Galileo created an accurate and beautiful thermometer. Storm glasses are among those early inventions that still hold a fascination for modern weather watchers. What is a storm glass, and what makes it work? Perhaps most importantly, does a storm glass accurately predict the weather? Here’s what we know. There are two very different historical meteorological devices that share the name “storm glass” or “weather glass.” Both became popular at about the same time — the late s — and both were widely used to predict changes in weather using liquid in a glass container. But that’s where the similarities end. Here’s a quick look at both devices and how they work. While no one is sure exactly who invented the Fitzroy storm glass, it was popularized by Admiral Robert Fitzroy. He famously captained the HMS Beagle th
