Title
English: Meteorology Tower
Description
English:

A tall lattice style tower with small equipment mounted to it rises above the tree line beyond.

Equipment on this tower monitors meteorological conditions, more commonly known as the weather. It is important to have a good understanding of local weather conditions when studying air quality – or planning your activities for the day! Instruments on this meteorology tower include: ● An anemometer to measure wind speed and direction ● A relative humidity sensor to measure the amount of moisture in the air ● A temperature sensor, which is aspirated, meaning that it is in a housing with a fan that pulls air across the sensor so that the temperature is not influenced by solar radiation ● A solar radiation sensor to measure the energy transmitted by the sun
