Hello everyone, new station owner, and I was wondering if I have the height info set up correctly. My station is mounted on a pole, above an apartment building. The roof is at about 24 meters from the ground, and the pole is 2 meters tall. Am I correct in adding 26 as the height above ground, or should I add the height from the rooftop?
Thanks
I would interpret “height above ground” as the height above the GROUND. Not the rooftop. Not anything else. The ground. So 26.
The elevation of the sensor is used to calculate equivalent sea level pressure, so they need to know how high the sensor is over the ground, and how high the ground is over sea level.
But in reality, it likely doesn’t matter that much what you answer. The differences in the math are that small.

as @vinceskahan mentioned it should be 26m. The difference in the value is about 0.1mbar per meter
