zancat 0 Posted February 26, 2011 http://www.findu.com/cgi-bin/wxpage.cgi?KD6RSQ-5 Weather station at Desert Ironwoods RV park. It's my brother's station at his trailer. Rain gauge is a little messed up right now, but we're working on it. Just FYI Zancat Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SteelRain 0 Posted February 26, 2011 That is a neat gizmo This is the back end of www.WunderGround.com (Weather Underground) I like the interface of this much better, it is bare bones. However, W.U. you can get access by searching city names, etc. One of classes was meteorology (I thought it would be an easy Lab credit) and since have wanted to be involved in a program such as this. Surely I could mount a weather station to the GSA.... Don't Laugh! My guys recently developed a fully operational weather station for deployed sensors that is smaller that a coffee cup and in conjunction with the data transmitter (basically WiMax technology) the power draw is well under 12v. How cool would that be to have? Especially if we could compress the data enough to ride on L-band or K-band satellite, that is the same transmission line your SPOT uses....

Not sure if WU uses this data or not, It is my brother's personal weather station mounted on his trailer in the trailer park. NWS does use it though, so if you ever see high in the nation Ocotillo Wells CA, that's space 6 in Desert Ironwoods. LOL He sends the data via HAM to a repeater on Palomar and from there I don't know how Find U gets it on the net or who all uses it.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
