PROPER EXPOSURE OF METEOROLOGIC AL INSTRUMENTS Generally recognized gui delines follow which depict "ideal" sensor mounting locations. Th ese guidelines or "rules of thumb" are onl y suggestive in nature in an attempt to aid the user to selecting optimum repr esentative sampling locations for a particular sensor. Reference was m[...]

PRECIPITATION GA UGES: Rain gauges should be installed on a level plot of ground, at a distanc e from any object of at least two and preferably four times the height of the obj ect above the top of the gauge. A ll t y pes of gauges must be ex posed with the rim of the receiv er in a horizontal plane and at a level w ell above the average level of s[...]

Step 2: Attach wind vane and counter-weight to the di rection sensor head. Loosen the two set screws on the top of the wind vane (upper unit). Insert the vane and counter-weight into t he holes. Be sure to press both pa rts all the wa y in and make sure the flat areas on each arm face the set-screws. Tighten the set screws. Note: For optimum perfor[...]

Two methods of aligning the vane are av ailable. The first method inv olves loosening the large set screw at the bottom of the wind di rection sensor so that it wi ll rotate on the U-arm. Turn the bottom half of the sensor until t he compass readings and the in dication match then retighten the set scr ew. The second method invol ves rotating the e[...]
