Chases |

~
Fri 10 - Chased wind in locally exposed areas. At Riverside Park (RT) I broke
records with two of my mobile |
|
anemometers. At 1355 I recorded 58.7km/h
with my car anemometer & 56.7km/h with my Kestrel 1000 - both records. |

~
On the 31st I covered my ferrite supressor & AWS rain gauge with alfoil
to see if this can reduce my erronous data. |
I have recently found out that this rain
gauge is light sensitive in the same way the temperature/humidity probe is. |
So far results do not look promising! |
