WEATHER STATION
UPDATES
-Dec 2016- A
137 MHz NOAA APT satellite downlink was installed at the station site.
The audio is processed by computer and WXTOIMG software
to create the images seen above. Unfortunately this is old analog
technology and many of the satellites have failed over time and NOAA has
no interest in repairing/replacing only decommissioning these analog
satellites.That’s why there can be long periods with no satellite passes
to update the image. But with simple equipment these images can still be
decoded. More info about NOAA
APT satellites.
-Mar 2013- A
new
Solar Radiation sensor has been added to the station. Very useful in
agriculture to calculate soil moisture evaporation. (Evapotransportation
is a function of Solar, Wind, and Temp) Also useful in the generation
and calculation of potential solar energy.
-Apr 2011-
Again I've moved the temp/hum sensor to a new
location for more accurate data. I would like to thank my neighbor for siting
them on his property of 3 acres. The field is mostly grass and garden, a perfect
environment for the sensor suite. The fan aspirated radiation shield is solar
powered to operate through the daylight hours.
-Mar 2010-
The All of the sensors have been re-sited on
the property to give you the most accurate data possible. More
information on my weather
HOME page.
-Feb 2009-
The old communications tower structure has
moved and grown to 85 feet. The
anemometer is now mounted above the tree line relaying accurate wind
information. Also the webcam is now mounted at 95 feet with a clear 360
degree view. I plan to upgrade
the image resolution of the webcam soon.
-WX Radio-
This audio is streamed from RF receivers to my weather server using
EdCast then to the
Weather
Underground WX radio network. |
