Doug's Weather Station
The weather data
gathered up until July, 2000, was from a Peet Brothers Ultimeter II
weather station including rooftop anemometer, wind direction vane, shielded
temperature probe, and rain gauge with 0.1" sensitivity. This was
fed into the desktop unit, and then into the serial port of an old Emerson 286
16 MHz where Peet Datalogger
software recorded the real time weather every five minutes. The daily
highs, lows, and rain totals were then transferred to Excel where they were
averaged by month and graphed. Because
of Y2K problems with the Peet Datalogger
software, no data was obtained from January, 2000 until July, 2000. A new system was put into place consisting of
a Peet Ultimeter 2000, a Peet Weather Buffer continuous recording device, and the
same rooftop equipment as before. The new software was the WinUlt 2.0 datalogger
program. Output of logged tabular data was then fed into Excel as before
and the resulting graphs are shown below.
Effective the
end of June, 2004, the master weather station unit was upgraded to a Peet Ultimeter 2100 offering greater
memory capacity, processing speed, and updated wind chill calculations. In January, 2005, the rain gauge was upgraded
to a tipping bucket design with resolution of 0.01” and the weather
software was changed to Weather
Display which enables the dedicated weather web page and data
collection. This is the current software
being used, with a dedicated Toshiba laptop running WinXP
as the PC.
The weather
data is now being uploaded to the Citizen
Weather Observer Program. This is a
national network of weather stations whose data is regularly checked for
accuracy and sent to the NOAA Mesonet Display where it is accessed by the NWS, NASA,
National Center for Environmental Prediction, and other agencies. There is a link
above for this data.
In addition,
I’ve added a new page of graphs, dials, and tables of all the weather
derived from my rooftop. That link
is also above.
Here's
