Skyway wind meter
is this down again?
i know its been a topic of old, but what can really be done to get a quality wind meter in place for us wind junkies to own and maintain? just $$$ ? |
Maybe a caveman can do it........
|
are we SOL on this?
Anyone have contact info for someone that could give us the scoop on the skyway meter? I know its not a super dependable wind gauge, but for a quick look-see on how things are going its one of the best we've got. |
I think Jayson and others have already been in contact with Dr. Luther.
I don't think that sensor has much value, especially this time of year since there aren't any easts, but here is Dr. Luther's info - http://www.marine.usf.edu/faculty/mark-luther.shtml I still just use the baynews9 skycam http://www.baynews9.com/Sky9.html# someone just launched a kite at Upham. |
Try these guys. They are in charge of the skyway meter...

thanks Jay..
here's the response I got yesterday: Bryan, A crew is replacing that station as we speak. They are waiting on a few more pieces and parts but said it should be operation by 8/9. I'll let you know if I hear anything further. Regards, Darren |
WOW!
A brand spanking new station replacement for the start of the season! what a present! |
maybe someone should tell them which direction is North :confused: ...... that way they get it right ;)
J/K this is definately a great way to start our season, no more wasting gas....hopefully |
