At R.M. Young Company, our instruments are designed to perform in some of the harshest environments on Earth. But even the best designs can be pushed to their limits—especially when installed on Mount Everest. After our first Everest deployment of the Alpine Wind...
When it comes to measuring precipitation, accuracy and reliability are essential. Two of the most commonly used instruments for this task are tipping bucket and siphon precipitation gauges. Both serve the same purpose—measuring how much rain has fallen—but they...
As the global energy landscape shifts toward sustainability, renewable energy sources like wind, solar, and hydro are at the forefront of innovation. These technologies promise to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, improve energy independence, and build a more resilient...
Barometric pressure might not be the first thing that comes to mind when you think about weather, but it plays a central role in forecasting, aviation, marine navigation, and even human health. Understanding what barometric pressure is, how it’s measured, and why it...
Air quality monitoring is an essential component of public health protection, environmental stewardship, and climate science. While most air quality discussions focus on pollutant concentrations—such as ozone (O₃), nitrogen dioxide (NO₂), or fine particulate matter...
When it comes to measuring wind accurately and reliably, the choice of sensor matters. While 3-cup anemometers have long been a staple in meteorological instrumentation, they’re no longer the best option for many modern applications. At R.M. Young Company, we believe...
Mount Washington, known for its ferocious weather, presents a formidable challenge for any weather instrumentation. Sitting at 6,288 feet, the highest peak in the White Mountains of New Hampshire is notorious for its hurricane-force winds, subfreezing temperatures,...
We’re excited to share some big news from R.M. Young Company—we have acquired SensorLogic, the team behind SNOdar, one of the most advanced snow depth sensors available today. This strategic acquisition allows us to expand our suite of precision meteorological...
Weather sensors are an essential component of meteorological systems, helping to monitor and predict the atmosphere’s conditions. From ancient observations based on natural phenomena to the cutting-edge technologies used today, weather sensors have undergone...
Thinking about building a weather station? The process of gathering weather data is always exciting, but as most people know, data is only as good as the tools that collect it. Selecting the right sensors for your weather station is essential to gather the data that...
