The website data you see here is from the
Davis Instruments Vantage Pro wireless weather station.

Sensor Suite, (rain,
temperature, humidity, wind, etc) mounted on a mast approximately 25 feet off
the ground, a Davis Vantage Pro Console and the Vantage Pro Envoy Receiver.
The
Vantage Pro Console and
Vantage Pro Envoy Receiver takes all the information received 24 hours a day
from the outdoor sensor suite and transmits it to the PC via a
serial connection via the Weatherlink software.
The software,
Weatherlink 5 by Davis Instruments, then generates all the
graphics and reports you can find on this site. About 99% of the info here
is generated by this equipment.
he computer is a Dell Precision 380 Workstation with 4GB DDR2 RAM, Intel Pentium D Dual Core Processor,
500GB
RAID5 file system on Windows Vista Business Edition with dual
Dell 20" LCD
monitors. Data is transmitted to this website via
a hi-speed business class cable broadband line with a bandwidth of
10MB downlink.
Finally, some of the information is being sent to various weather
organizations for various uses such as studying, filling in voids in regions
where there are no weather records and more!

day. Except for periodic maintenance and unexpected
