Weather station
The station is powered by a Davis Vantage Pro2 Plus weather station with 24-hr-Fan-Aspirated Radiation shield, UV & Solar Radiation Sensors. The data is collected every 3-5 seconds and the site is updated every 15 seconds. This site and its data are collected using Meteobridge for Raspbery Pi. Meteobridge is embedded software running on a Raspberry Pi that connects your personal weather station to public weather networks like "Weather Underground". This allows you to feed your micro climate data to a weather network in the Internet and to have it visible from wherever you are. All you need is Internet access, to reach the weather networks's web pages, where you can inspect your current and historical data. By that you can also share your weather data with friends and you are actively participating in a large network of weather enthusiasts who also share their weather observations with you.
The station is comprised of an anemometer situated 33 feet AGL, 7 feet above the roof and a rain gauge, thermo-hydro sensor, solar sensor and UV sensor situated 6 feet AGL.
