About This Station
|
This weather station is a Davis Vantage Pro2. The station comprises of an anemometer, rain gage a thermo-hydro sensor and Weather Display software. The transmitter sends a data packet to the console every 2 ½ seconds. The weather conditions that are the most variable (such as wind speed and direction) are updated with each packet, while most other conditions are updated every 10 seconds. Weather Display constantly analyzes the data, and updates my pages. The current conditions are uploaded every 10 seconds. Weather Display also uploads the station's data to Weather Underground, which in return provides the radar screens, records and advisory map. My web cams are network IP cams, which come with a web server, and an Internet address. They upload images to the web site, and to Weather Underground, which produces the all day video. The menus are created by AllWebMenus LITE. The new page design is based on the sinorca-gradient template by Haran. A big thanks to Tom at Carter Lake for the template that my original page was based on, the scripts to read the forecast, the weather warnings and the Ajax updates. Thanks to Anole for the weather banner that I use. I'd also like to thank Pinto for the code to read the Weather Display client files. Pinto also is the creator of my graphs, with some additions by Broadstairs. Thanks to Ken True, for the meso-buoy map, work on the Ajax code and updates to the advisories and forecast scripts. Ken True also wrote the software for the Southwestern Weather Network, and ported it for the Northeastern Weather Network. he is also working with various areas of the country to set up other networks. This station uses more and more of Ken's scripts. I think he works harder now, than before he retired!
Brian Hamilton is the creator of Weather Display. He keeps it updated constantly, so a big thanks to him. "So how's the web site coming along?", asks George. VP2 reception 91% Console Battery 4.8 ISS battery Ok |
