Are there any advantages to swap my system form a Campbell Scientific CR10X to a Campbell Scientific CR1000? I have acquired one cheaply and I wonder if it will be worth all the work to swap over.

Campbell Scientific
Just wondering if anyone had a spare SC32B available please. i am in need of one to get a new system running and the costs of a new one are far to high for a pensioner. I already have two here but for some reason they will not work on any of the five computers I have or any of the dataloggers I have...

Re: Orange Sun
We have had the same experience here in Lancashire. The whole morning there has been a very odd and gloomy light until later in the morning when the sun began to peep through and was showing a distinct red hue apparently ( I am colour blind). A photograph from my daughter, Laoise, will help. Also a ...

WOW
I have been supply data to WOW almost since its launch, both automatically and manually. However, the last few months have proved very trying, mostly with an inability to log in to the site. My contacts with the 'Help" team have on the whole, been unsatisfactory, and currently I have been locked out...

I have used a straight thermometer encased ina metal sheath. A suitable length of plastic water pipe into the ground, and a plastic bottle top cap. Insert the thermometer into the ground, cap it off. job done. Lots of these thermometer appear on ebay so oyu should be able to get one quickly.

Cut a piece of the cotton sheet around the size of a 50p piece. Thread the dishcloth cotton through th...

Re: Stainless Steel Hellmann Rain Gauge
My Hellman gauge is not stainless steel and I have not had any problems at all. It compares very well with the standard and Casella recoding gauge nearby. It is of course only used for recoding rain intensity and time on the trace. Have you thought of spraying it with waterproofing solution? It may ...

Re: A faulty sheathed max. thermometer
I have a mercury, sheathed max thermometer which has always read 0.6˚C higher than it should when compared to the 'normal' thermometer of the same pattern. there are no breaks or other problems with the column, it is just a bad reading. When compared to my electronic unit it gives the same problem t...

Re: Thermometers v AWS sensors
I too have both types in my screen. Standard Met Office sheather thermometers and my own design sensors connected to a Labjack unit. I have also found the same as Nicholas that the results are generally no more than 0.2 C degrees different, mostly 0.1 or nil difference. The only problem I ave found ...

Re: Uploading data onto websites
I use Weather Display myself, but Cumulus is just as good for your purposes and I believe is free. I run a PC alongside my macs to do this and it really is very easy in setup. I know Weather display almost does all the work for you.
