The Long Now Weather Station: Historical Data

Temperature: Last Recorded 365 Day Period

[ current | day | week | month | year | all | text log ]

Temperature is now logged by a Coastal Environmental S1074 sensor (as of June 29th, 02003) Previous to that it was logged with the internal temperature sensor in the ZENO computer which had a configuration bug that did not let us sense temperatures below freezing.. (Pink dots are data points and the red line is the average.)

 

Humidity: Last Recorded 365 Day Period

[ current | day | week | month | year | all | text log ]

Humidity is gathered once per hour by a TH-2013V sensor by Texas Electronics.(Pink dots are data points and the red line is the average.)

 

Wind Speed: Last 30 Day Period

[ current | day | week | month | year | all | text log ]

Wind Speed is gathered once per hour by a TV-110-L3 sensor by Texas Electronics. (Pink dots are data points and the red line is the average.)

 

Wind Direction: Last Recorded 365 Day Period

[ current | day | week | month | year | all | text log ]

Wind Direction is gathered once per hour by a TD-106-5D sensor by Texas Electronics. Zero degrees is East, 90 degrees is North, 180 degrees is West and 270 degrees is South. (Pink dots are data points and the red line is the average.)

 

Rain: Last Recorded 365 Day Period

[ current | day | week | month | year | all | text log ]

Accumulation during the past: Day= In Week= In Month= In Year= In

Precipitation is gathered once per hour by a TS-525I sensor by Texas Electronics. Since this is not a heated rain guage it will not operate in winter. Note: Due to sensor connectivity problems in April of 02003 we cannot show rainfall between April and July 1st of that year. We are now using a series of widely dispersed rain gauges throughout the mountain to record rain offline as well as with this sensor. (Pink dots are data points and the red line is the average.)

 

Atmospheric Pressure (Barometric): Last Recorded 365 Day Period

[ current | day | week | month | year | all | text log ]

Barometric pressure is gathered once per hour by a TB-212M sensor by Texas Electronics. We had to get this sensor specially compensated for our high elevation (~9000ft.). (Pink dots are data points and the red line is the average.)

 

Sun: Last Recorded 365 Day Period

[ current | day | week | month | year | all | text log ]

Solar intensity is gathered once per hour by a TS-100 sensor by Texas Electronics. (Pink dots are data points and the red line is the average.)

 

Battery Voltage: Last Recorded 365 Day Period

[ current | day | week | month | year | all | text log ]

Battery Voltage is gathered once per hour by the internal voltage sensor built into our Zeno weather station computer. (Pink dots are data points and the red line is the average.)
