Page 7: Introduction
The RAWS-H allows customers who own a Handar Data Collection Platform to upgrade to a Campbell Scientific Remote Automated Weather Station, while using the sensors and tower that they already own. The RAWS-H contains an aluminum 14- by 18-in. environmental enclosure, a CR1000M Module, a 12 Vdc sealed rechargeable battery, a CH100 regulator, a Handar sensor connector panel, a wiring panel, and a CR1000KD Keyboard Display. -

RAWS-H Remote Automated Weather Station in FIGURE 9-3. Note that when a negative number is subtracted from a positive number, the resulting arithmetic operation is addition. For example, the declination for Longmont, CO is 10.1°, thus True North is 360° ─ 10.1°, or 349.9° as read on a compass. Likewise, the declination for Mc Henry, IL is ─2.6°, and True North is 0°... -

RAWS-H Remote Automated Weather Station USGS Web Calculator The USGS provides an easy way of determining the declination of a specific site. Since magnetic declination fluctuates with time, it should be adjusted each time the wind sensor orientation is adjusted.
