Product Description

mbient ambiant weather ambientweather ambiantweather ambientweather.net ambiantweather.net

The WS-YG315 Classic Weather Station from Ambient Weather includes barometer, hygrometer and thermometer. This traditional piece is at home in any fine study, office, library, upscale restaurant or scientific laboratory. The rich, lacquer finished wood framed cherry weather station measures temperature (in °F and °C), barometric pressure (mbar and inHg) and humidity (%). The bezels display an air of quality and accuracy one would expect with a fine, handcrafted weather instrument from Ambient Weather.

Weather Forecasting

The weather forecast or pressure tendency is based on the rate of change of barometric pressure. In general, when the pressure increases, the weather improves (sunny to partly cloudy) and when the pressure decreases, the weather degrades (cloudy to rain). The weather forecast is an estimation or generalization of weather changes in the next 24 to 48 hours, and varies from location to location. The tendency is simply a tool for projecting weather conditions and is never to be relied upon as an accurate method to predict the weather. The barometer includes a manually set needle, which is used to mark the current measurement so a change can be seen. Barometric readings should be taken daily. Remember that the rate of change of barometric pressure is important in determining weather changes. You may want to take multiple readings each day during periods of unstable weather conditions.

Reading the Barometer

It is highly advisable to lightly tap the glass near the center brass knob with your fingers before taking a barometer reading. The light tap will overcome any friction that may affect accurate hand readings, especially during periods of slow atmospheric changes. The Coast Guard has informed us that tapping the barometer is even required on the most expensive aneroid barometers, because the mechanism is made deliberately “stiff”. The ability if the barometer to indicate changes in barometric pressure makes it a useful instrument in weather forecasting.

Barometer Calibration

Aneroid barometers have a small screw on the back for sea-level calibration. With a flat blade screwdriver, turn this screw in either direction slightly while looking at the indicator needle. It should move in one direction or the other.

Tap the barometer to see where the needle settles. Continue this procedure until the proper pressure reading is obtained.

Special Notes and Caveats:

  • The barometer only works to 3,000 feet. Do not order this product if you live above 3,000 feet.
  • The weather station is intended for indoor use only.
  • The weather station can be mounted horizontally and vertically (by adjusting the dials).

Features:

  • 12 inches Long
  • Dials: 2.5 inches Diameter
  • Hang horizontal or vertical
  • Weather station thermometer, barometer, hygrometer
  • Wood base with lacquer cherry finish
  • Faux Glass bezels
  • Fahrenheit temperature scale

The Thermometer

The dial thermometer uses a bimetallic strip wrapped into a coil. One end of the coil is fixed to the housing of the device and the other drives an indicating needle.

The principle behind a bimetallic strip thermometer relies on the fact that different metals expand at different rates as they warm up. By bonding two different metals together, the coil bends, causing the needle to move.

Bimetallic thermometers are not as accurate as bulb (mercury or red spirit) thermometers. The dial thermometer should require no calibration.

The Hygrometer

The hygrometer measures the indoor relative humidity. The sensor measures the air moisture by a sensitive mechanical coil spring that is bonded with a moisture absorbent material.

Hygrometers register the percentage of water vapor present in the air, compared to the maximum amount that can be present at a given temperature.

The coils in hygrometers respond slowly and while humidity levels change abruptly, it can take an hour or more for the meter to reach an accurate reading. Remember that the hygrometer is reading indoor humidity, and is vastly different than outdoor humidity, as reported by the National Weather Service.

The Barometer

An aneroid barometer uses a small, flexible metal box called an aneroid cell.

This aneroid capsule (cell) is made from an alloy of beryllium and copper. The evacuated capsule (or usually more capsules) is prevented from collapsing by a strong spring.

Small changes in external air pressure cause the cell to expand or contract. This expansion and contraction drives mechanical levers such that the tiny movements of the capsule are amplified and displayed on the face of the aneroid barometer.

Many models include a manually set needle which is used to mark the current measurement so a change can be seen.

It was invented by Blaise Pascal.

"...range is a very small portion of the dial, so in practice the needle hardly moves, and it's 2 degrees wide so the readings are not very precise...." Read more

Temperature gauge in question:
I bought two different brands of weather stations. I bought this weather station by Ambient after I had bought another weather station by Almencia on Amazon, because I had thought that the Almencia, or first one, had a defective barometer (but as it turned out, it didn't). I paid $15 more for the Almencia than I paid for this Ambient brand. What I prefer about this one is that the barometer measures in inches of mercury (inHg--the most common measurement standard in the U.S.) and millimeters of mercury (mmHg). My first one, the Almencia, only measures in millimeters of mercury (mmHg) and millibars (hPa), not inches. However, the thermometer on this one, at times, reads about 4 or 5 degrees F. too high. The barometers and hygrometers on both are quite close to each other. So, overall, the first one is more accurate and slightly more attractive to me, and I prefer it--but I enjoy both of them; and I have gotten used to reading the barometer on the first one in millibars (as they equate to inches). Unlike the first one, this one comes with a booklet of instructions that even explains weather conditions as they relate to reading the weather station, and what these readings mean. I recommend, especially for the price. UPDATE: One of the two images I have submitted is for the Ambient, and the other image is of the Almencia brand. Also, I have found out that the brass knob and needle on the front of the barometer is merely for manually setting a point of reference, should you want to see how much the barometric pressure has fallen or risen from a certain point. Both brands are doing quite well for accuracy. UPDATE: THE THERMOMETER IS NOW WORKING FINE.

Reviewed in the United States on April 30, 2023
The instruments work well and after some fine tuning are surprisingly accurate. What’s more I love how I installed them in my boat, they look great. There’s only 2 problems, the color is much more red than cherry and not what I expected but I can live with it. The other problem (for me) is there’s no way to attach a screw to the bottom it just hangs on one at the top. For hanging in a home that’s not bad but for my application it needs to be more secure. Hoping I can adapt but for now I’m happy!
