Air temperature: the hotness or coldness of the air. Humidity: the amount of moisture in the air: water vapor, water vapor in the air is a very important source of energy: latent heat. Clouds: water vapor that has condensed in the air. A gust is an instantaneous piece during that time period. Visibility: the ability to see: what can affect visibility: fog, rain, dust, aviation in planes, snow, etc. Satellite: primarily looking at clouds (from up above) Rawinsondes: tells us about temperature, wind speed, humidity further into the atmosphere.
