The weather
station used to generate the data is a Davis Vantage Pro2 wireless station. (as shown ). It includes a wireless display unit that receives
data from an anemometer mounted on the roof, an outdoor temperature, humidity sensor and rainfall gauge.
This data is fed into a computer running Virtual Weather Station
V12.07 The data is logged using this software and graphs are created
similar to those displayed on this website. A database collects
the raw data every 15 minutes and adds it to a history table for
querying at a later stage. Virtual Weather Station then sends updates
to this webpage every 15minutes with the latest data.
This is the rainfall gauge, outdoor temperature and humidity sensor with
transmitter. The resolution of
the rain gauge is 0.2mm
The black anemometer unit shown is used for wind speed and direction readings for the station.
The white anemometer also shown is from the original Oregon Scientific station.
