New owner- Pro & con observations

Welcome @vidguy7 . Great to have another met / scientist aboard. You’re in very good and helpful company here with the other owners. A few observation which may or may not have been addressed:

  1. when viewing graphs, make sure to zoom into the 1min resolution to see the finest data. See Data archive buckets explained.

  2. Rotate your phone to landscape when viewing graphs. :wink:

  3. Your observed issue with wind spikes during rain events is due to drops in the sonic path. We are experimenting with various coatings. So far the super hydrophobic nano-particle varieties are performing the best. Many of the pricey sonic anemometers use similar. We’ll solve it, have patience.

  4. To ensure data integrity across the entire network, we believe in in-situ calibration and ongoing dynamic QC. To that end, we have/are deploying a Continuous Learning (CL) system for various parameters. In short, we compare data from your station to reference data sources in your immediate area and apply daily calibrations when warranted. For example see CL for Humidity explained As of 23 Jan, your station has received an initial calibration for Humidity on 23Jan. The system is still collecting and certifying comparison data for Pressure, UV, and Rain before initial corrections are applied.

We’re glad you found us. Welcome.
