Weather Station Hardware: Davis Vantage Vue® Wireless Weather Station

About the setup

The station is solar powered and wirelessly transmits data to the console every 2.5 seconds. The console is then connected to a data logger and a PC to provide updates to this site every 5 seconds for the live site and every 15 minutes for the static site. Data is also been uploaded to Weather Underground, NOAA and CWOP. I also purchased the daytime fan aspiration kit that provides a solar powered fan for the radiation shield that improves the accuracy of temperature readings.

The station has the following sensors:

Temperature
Humidity
Barometric Pressure
Wind Direction
Wind Speed
Rainfall (tipping bucket accurate to 0.2mm)
Ultraviolet Radiation
Solar Radiation

From these sensors, the console and the software on the PC I can provide the following information:
