Wind data logger

On Tuesday we installed the first stage of a weather station at Park Farm. This comprises an anemometer and wind vane mounted at the same level as the nearby wind turbine with display and logging facilities in the office below. The first photograph shows our recently-pedestrianised technician Frank standing on the platform of a cherry-picker to mount the 'head-end' on the pole. He was rather nervous when extending the platform out to its sideways limit, imagining that it might tip over. Nothing we could say provided him with any comfort.
The second picture shows the direct read-out of current values of wind direction (290 degrees) and wind speed (0). This unit is also conected to a computer that collects/logs the data and displays statistics.
