Representative meteorological observation
Term · Meteorology and atmospheric science · MLC-T-MET-008520
A measurement of an atmospheric variable that accurately reflects the conditions of the surrounding environment or a specific area of interest. This requires careful consideration of sensor placement, exposure, and the spatial variability of the phenomenon being measured. For instance, a temperature reading from an airport weather station should represent the ambient air temperature of the airfield.
