    RAWS-H Remote Automated Weather Station 1. Introduction The RAWS environmental enclosure can be used for configuring a custom Remote Automated Weather Station (RAWS) that matches the requirements of your application. The aluminum environmental enclosure houses a 12 V rechargeable battery and a CR1000 datalogger. The outside of the enclosure has color-coded, keyed connectors (Figure 1-1) for attaching the sensors.

    RAWS-H Remote Automated Weather Station 2. Getting Started NOTE Set up and test your station before field deployment. NOTE Keep this manual and the CR1000KD Keyboard Display with the RAWS. Review the station siting and orientation section before field deployment. If a problem is encountered, review the equipment wiring and troubleshooting sections in this manual.

  • Page 10: Wind Speed And Direction

    RAWS-H Remote Automated Weather Station faces south (northern hemisphere) minimizing the chance of shading from other weather station structures. Reflective surfaces and sources of artificial radiation should be avoided. Level the solar radiation sensor. 3.5 Wind Speed and Direction A wind sensor should be located over open level terrain and at a distance of at least ten times (EPA) the height of any nearby building, tree, or other obstruction.

    5.4.1 General Description, GOES Transmitter (part #TX320) The High Data Rate GOES transmitter (part #TX320) shown in Figure 5.4-1 supports one-way communication, via satellite, from a Campbell Scientific datalogger to a ground receiving station. Satellite telemetry offers a convenient communication alternative for field stations where phone systems or RF systems are impractical or rendered unreliable after a tragedy to the local infrastructure.

    More difficult maintenance, such as sensor calibration, sensor performance testing (i.e., bearing torque), and sensor component replacement, generally requires a skilled technician, or send the instrument to Campbell Scientific. A station log should be maintained for each weather station that includes equipment model and serial numbers and maintenance that was performed.

    RAWS-H Remote Automated Weather Station 8.1.2 USGS Web Calculator The USGS provides an easy way of determining declination of a specific site. Since magnetic declination fluctuates with time, it should be adjusted each time the wind sensor orientation is adjusted. The calculator can be accessed at: www.ngdc.noaa.gov/geomagmodels/Declination.jsp.
