Weather Station
Information |
|
| The Boulder-Creek.com weather station
uses the Oregon Scientific WMR968 Wireless Weather Station. This complete
weather station comes equipped with outdoor sensors that operate on solar
power, which provides easy installation. Data is wireless transmitted from
the sensors to the display console which means no messy cable installations. This station also has seven
channels and accepts up to three additional sensors.

The weather sensors are mounted on a roof mast
to provide maximum exposure for the temperature and humidity sensors
from ambient heat sources such and as building walls. The temperature sensor is
enclosed in a RM Young Model 41003P Gill Multi-Plate Radiation Shield to
prevent direct sun exposure from dramatically influencing temperature
readings. |

The station sensors are on a
six foot mast mounted at the peak of the roof facing south towards
Boulder Creek approximately a mile away as the crow flies. The roof
mount is expected to minimize heat bias coming from the roof shingles
for the temperature and humidity sensors. There is some wind bias
directly west of the anemometer from three tall Douglas Fir trees which
are approximately 30 to 40 feet away. Not ideal but better than being
totally surrounded by redwood trees. The rain bucket gauge |
