WEATHER STATIONS IN ACTION:
Vantage Pro2 Enjoys Spectacular California Sierra Views

The photo just might end up in one of our catalogs, but we thought you should be the first to enjoy it! .

“As an AQS,” Dennis wrote, “I manage both a professional met station and a PM10 monitoring station. I have wanted to set up a professional grade met station at my home in the Alabama Hills at the base of Mt. Whitney. In November of 2005, I accomplished this goal. Using your Vantage Pro 2 met gear and some components from my work environment; the station labeled AH-1 is now operative.”

Dennis uses the data from his professional station, the Vantage Pro2, and from the National Weather Service to provide a daily forecast service for the Owens Valley/High Sierra Mountains.

“There are so many micro-climates here that the VP2 data is important because of its location at the base of the mountains at an elevation of 4500 feet,” he told us.

(Dennis, are there any job openings for newsletter editors in your area?)
