PHOTO GALLERY
The following photos are of the tower, external instruments and of the
weather station console itself.
The 3 cup anemometer and wind direction vane are mounted at the top of
the tower to minimize
the wind turbulence caused by the roof and any nearby trees.
The solar-powered Integrated Sensor Suite (ISS) is mounted to the base
of the tower. This unit
gathers all the wind speeds/directions, temperatures and rainfall
amounts and transmits this data by radio waves
to the indoor console. The bare wire leading away from the ISS is
the ground wire.
