A method, apparatus and computer program product for determining a reduced visibility event warning are described herein. In the context of a method, a location corresponding with a reduced visibility event warning may be identified. Information regarding visibility at one or more stationary positions based upon the location of the reduced visibility event warning may be received from one or more remote devices (e.g., sensing apparatuses). The method may determine a reduced visibility event warning confidence for the location corresponding with a reduced visibility event warning based upon the information regarding visibility. The method may cause the reduced visibility event warning to be published in an instance in which the reduced visibility event warning confidence satisfies a confidence threshold.

A scientific instrument for measuring neutral atmospheric conditions at satellite altitudes is provided. In an illustrative embodiment, the scientific instrument includes an ion gauge configured to measure ion pressure. The scientific instrument also includes a lid covering the ion gauge. The lid includes a plurality of slits. The scientific instrument also includes an aperture plate that includes an aperture opening. The aperture plate is configured to rotate such that each of the slits are periodically exposed by the aperture opening to allow a neutral beam flux to enter the ion gauge.

A system for passive microwave remote sensing using at least one microwave radiometer includes a fixed body portion and a mobile body portion. The mobile body portion is configured for rotatably coupling with the fixed body portion for rotation about a rotation axis. The mobile body portion is configured for supporting the microwave radiometer therein such that the microwave radiometer rotates about the rotation axis when the mobile body portion is rotated about the rotation axis such that a polarization axis of the radiometer is aligned with an earth axis. The fixed body portion includes a motor mechanism for effecting rotation of the mobile body portion. In an embodiment, the mobile body portion includes a plurality of body section, each body section being configured for supporting a microwave radiometer therein. In another embodiment, each one of the plurality of body sections is configured to be interchangeably coupled with each other.

Provided herein is technology relating to measuring and recording weather phenomena and particularly, but not exclusively, to apparatuses, methods, kits, and systems for measuring hydrometeor impacts, e.g., hail impacts.
