Weather Station Information

We are using a Davis Vantage Pro2 weather system. In addition to weather information on my blog, it is also feeding data to NOAA and WeatherUnderground.

The TOP PHOTO is of the Integrated Sensor Suite which currently consists of the rain collector, outside temperature and humidity collector. It is mounted on the garden fence, is solar powered and connected to the computer by a wireless datalink. Later, I will be adding a solar UV and heating collector.

The BOTTOM PHOTO is the Anemometer installation. It measures wind speed and direction and is calibrated to magnetic north. It is mounted on an existing post, with a ten foot steel tube extension. The anemometer is approximately twenty-five feet above ground. It is also solar powered and connected with a wireless datalink.
