CARMA weather station(s)
The weather system of CARMA consist of two instruments.
The Dew Point Hygrothermometer
(Technical Services Laboratory), which
we refer to as the DPS, only measures ambient and dewpoint temperatures.
The CRX10 datalogger from
Campbell Scientific,
referred to as WS, consists
of a UT3 tower with a HMP35 thermometer and RH probe, a
PTB101B barometer, a 05103 RM wind monitor and rain gauge, and measures
a slew of weather parameters.
The CDR
for the Weather Station
is to be discussed on May 6, 2005 during
the R3 integration week.
