NATO Supply Class 6660 is a classification within NATO Supply Group 66, which is dedicated to Instruments And Laboratory Equipment. Specifically, NATO Supply Class 6660 focuses on Meteorological Instruments And Apparatus.

Meteorological instruments and apparatus are used to measure and study various atmospheric conditions and weather phenomena. These instruments play a crucial role in meteorology, climate research, and weather forecasting.

Some examples of meteorological instruments and apparatus that fall under NATO Supply Class 6660 include:

1. Barometers: These instruments are used to measure atmospheric pressure, which is an important parameter in weather forecasting.

2. Thermometers: Thermometers are used to measure temperature, which is a key factor in understanding weather patterns.

3. Hygrometers: Hygrometers are used to measure humidity levels in the atmosphere, providing valuable information about moisture content.

4. Anemometers: Anemometers are used to measure wind speed and direction, helping meteorologists understand wind patterns and airflow.

5. Rain Gauges: Rain gauges are used to measure the amount of precipitation, such as rainfall or snowfall, in a specific area.

6. Weather Balloons: These large balloons are equipped with instruments to measure various atmospheric parameters, including temperature, humidity, and pressure, at different altitudes.

7. Weather Stations: Weather stations are comprehensive setups that include multiple instruments to measure various meteorological parameters simultaneously.

NATO Supply Class 6660 ensures that these meteorological instruments and apparatus are properly classified and categorized for procurement and supply chain management purposes within NATO member countries.

It is important to note that this classification system is specific to NATO and may vary from other classification systems used in different countries or organizations.
