Meteorological station
Our weather monitoring site is located on the roof of our building.
The following instrumentation is used:
- Air temperature and humidity – Rotronic in radiation shield
- Global and diffuse horizontal solar radiation – Kipp and Zonen KM5 solarimeter x2
- Global and diffuse horizontal illumination – Megatron M45 photocells x2
- Wind speed and direction – Vector Instruments
- Rainfall – antique tipping bucket of indeterminate origin
- Barometric pressure – SensorTechnics
These are monitored by a Campbell Instruments CR10 data logger, scanned at second intervals, recorded at 5 minute intervals.
