====== Ground weather sensor ======


Since December 2010 a multi-sensor weather instrument is permanent installed at the office container at the BCO. 

{{:observations:bco:wxt-site.jpg?direct&800|}}

It provides 6 of the most important weather parameters: air pressure, temperature, humidity, rainfall, wind speed and direction on approx. 4 m AGL. The data is recorded every 10 seconds (10s mean values from 1s values).
