Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: (A) P-3, Q-5, R-1, S-2

Explanation

A pyranometer measures solar irradiance; a disdrometer measures precipitation particle/drop characteristics; a hygrometer measures humidity; an anemometer measures wind speed. Thus 3, 5, 1, 2, A. A disdrometer’s drop measurements support precipitation observation rather than pressure measurement.
