will be located on a weather mast to allow the various weather
instruments to
mounted at the meteorologically accepted heights.
For the temperature sensor the height is 60" above an open grassy
area. For wind speed the height is 10 meters above
the same. At another location the infrasound microphone will
be laid out to monitor very small changes in atmospheric
pressure due to ultrasound - sound way below the audible.
Various atmospheric science instruments will be located
on the roof of Olin Hall.
Below
are links to each instruments description. Currently most of
those are in development.
