| This wireless weather station consists of a solar powered suite of sensors. The electronic components are housed in a weather-resistant shelter. For improved accuracy, temperature and humidity sensors are housed inside a daytime fan-aspirated radiation shield. The shield protects against solar radiation and other sources of radiated and reflected heat and the fan provides airflow across the sensors. The rain gauge is an automatic tipping bucket type. The wind sensors are mounted about 25 feet above ground level and consist of a cup anemometer and wind vane. |  |
| Weather Station Computer Data from the weather station sensors is collected by the console. A data logger attached to the console sends the sensor data to the computer for processing by Weather Display software. The Weather Display software then sends the data to this web site as well as the Citizen Weather Observer Program (CWOP), NOAA's Meteorological Assimilation Data Ingest System (MADIS), the Weather Underground and the Southeastern Weather Network. The original weather station computer was a spare system built from scratch in 2002 running Windows XP Home. It had an AMD 64 bit processor running at 1.3 GHz and only 512 MB RAM. When the motherboard died in 2008, it was replaced with an HP Slimline S3220N running Windows Vista Home Premium SP2. The new computer has an AMD Athlon 64 X2 Dual Core Processor 5000+ 2.60 GHz with 2 GB RAM. A minimum amount of software is installed on this system and it is primarily dedicated to the weather station. |
