Wind Speed and Direction

Wind sensors should be located over open level terrain, and at a distance of at least ten times

the height of any nearby building, tree or other obstruction, as illustrated in Figure 1.

Temperature and Relative Humidity

The surface should be covered by short grass. Sensors should be located at a distance of at

least four times the height of any nearby obstruction and at least 100 feet from large paved

areas.

Situations to avoid include:

• Large industrial heat sources

• Rooftops

• Parking lots

• Steep slopes

• Sheltered hollows

• High vegetation

• Shaded areas

• Swamps

• Low places holding standing water after rain

Precipitation

The rain gauge should be located a distance of two to four times the height of any obstruc-

tions. The rain gauge should be high enough to not be hit by sprinklers.

Solar Radiation

Pyranometers should be located to avoid shadows on the sensor at any time.

Weather Station Communication

The most common method of communication with a weather station is dial-up telephone

service or “direct connect” utilizing a short-haul modem. More than one user can access a

dial-up station. Direct connect stations are connected to a single computer. If the weather

station is located in close proximity to the Weather Reach Server then there is a simple,

low cost means to access a weather station. If the direct connect weather station is being

accessed by another computer system, there may be alternative solutions. Contact Weather

Reach Signal Provider Support 1-877-351-6588 for more information.

There are other communication methods supported by Campbell Scientific. Contact Weather Reach
