I thought I would post a quick thread about the weather station buoy floating out on Lake Mendota, in Madison Wisconsin. This device is more than a weather station and is used collaboratively by University of Wisconsin Limnology, Space Science and Engineering Center (SSEC) and Environmental Engineering. The nice thing is that they will be posting some of this data online, so that sailors, boaters, and anyone using the lake can get readings on the current conditions. The GAMIS website can be found here. It looks like they will be posting real time as well as historical information.
What does the buoy report?
- Wind direction and speed
- Air temperature
- Dew point/relative humidity
- Vertical profile of water temperature
- Dissolved oxygen
- Chlorophyll
- Phycocyanin
The buoy is currently located here:
Home Weather Stations are easier to set up than ever before,are far more useful, and are not only better value but in many cases are far cheaper than even a year ago. Here are the main things to look for if you are about to buy a home weather station.Owen
ReplyDeleteOur team has used Weather Measuring Instruments & gadgets while hiking in hilly areas. It was very helpful specially in snowfalls and rainy seasons. It's almost life saving.
