More information about the installations and height from the recommended
land ...
•
About 4 feet above the surface are sufficient for good reading and humidity
reading.
•
If you measure the speed and direction of the wind is important for you, we
recommend that you get a cleaner wind. At about 6-10 feet from the ground
is better if the surrounding area is free and open. Mounting above any
nearby obstacles is better for ideal winds, but do so if the installation is
feasible and easily accessible. Do not worry about mounting a roof line or a
line of trees if it is too tiring. Professional anemometers are positioned at a
standard height of 10 m (~ 33 feet from the ground) and have a clean wind
detection (no obstacle to that height) for 10 times the distance of height, eg.
It is almost impossible for the owner of a home meteorological station to
meet these professional installation standards.
•
For more ideal rain readings, it is recommended to place any all-in-one
weather station at soil level in a waterproof area, away from trees, etc. For a
higher precision, mounting on a robust structure, lowering the ground is
particularly important for the Tactile Rain Temperature, which detects and
quantifies the rain from vibrations.
