One station at SNARL

Campbell CR-10 data logger w/ all different sensors, not necessarily Campbell.
Vaisala temp and RH probe
RM young wind vane and anemometer
Epply radiometers
Qualimetrics heated tipping bucket rain/snow gauge with Alter ShieldHard to guess on price, maybe $10K all told. You can probably do better buying an all-in-one from Campbell.

Nothing at Valentine.

We have two peripheral stations, one on Mammoth Mountain and another on Pahoa Island in Mono Lake.

Campbell

I think it cost about $5K.

Make: Campbell
Model: CR10 data logger

Sensor Stand: Campbell Tripod Weather Station
Temperature and Humidity: Campbell Model HMP35C, Temperature and Relative Humidity Probe
Light: Li-Cor pyranometer PY 23221, watts/m2
Wind: Campbell 03001-5 RM Young Wind Sentry, m/s
Precipitation: Campbell TE525 Tipping Bucket Rain Gauge
Barometric Pressure: Vasiala PTB101B analog barometer

Original cost in 1995 was $5330 from Campbell Scientific, Logan, UT.

We have developed our own database management program for the met station data. It seems to work well and allows us to generate graphs and spreadsheets for distribution on a regular basis. Campbell's original manuals are almost unusable/unintelligible. Their newer manuals have been improved somewhat, although their service folks cannot speak anything but "technese".

We (UC) do not have a weather station at Ano Nuevo.

CSUMB does have a partial weather station (no precipitation data) in association with a web
cam. Current conditions can be accessed at:
http://essp.csumb.edu/eseal/datanow.html
The data is archived at:
http://essp.csumb.edu/eseal/archive/archive.html
To really do analysis of the long term archives one needs to get in contact
with them to find out how to download and parse the data effectively. If
you want to find out about their equipment, the man in charge is Henrik
Kibak.
This project was originally funded by NSF as a demonstration project for
science education. The equipment has lasted longer than expected, so
despite no current funding, they've kept it going and anticipate continuing
to do so until the equipment fails.

we have no weather stations
(there has been talk, repeatedly, in the past, about getting a bunch
of stations so measurements could be done uniformly across reserves.

Texas Weather Instruments WRL-32 32K 2000 lines of data

CSMR has a HOBO weather station made by Onset Corp
Sensors package includes: Temperature, Rel. Humidity, Barometric Pressure, Wind Speed, Direction and Gust Speed, PAR, and Rainfall. It has been operating continuously since April 03 with no problems. It was about $2K with all the hardware and software. Runs forever on 4 A batteries, but my set-up does require me to download the data using a PalmPilot. They do make a wireless modem to transmit the data real time to a PC or laptop, but CSMR has no electrical power to run any of these.

 We have two weatherstations. Both are produced by Campbell Scientific (the producers of the datalogger and the voltage regulator). The datalogger is a Campbell Sci. CR23X based modular design.
Probes: both stations have temp/RH (one has a Rotronix, the other station's temp/rh is dead and will be replaced by a very expensive Vaisala), RM Young wind monitor, Texas Electronics TE525ws Rain Guage. Then, one station has a CS105 Barometer, the other station has a LiCor Li200S Pyranometer.
Estimated cost told me by a guy at Weather News (the business that put in the stations) is 4 - 6,000$ per unit. We did not purchase these units, we inherited them from Homestake. If we were to purchase a weather station, I suspect we'd go much cheeper than that, with much less expensive probes, if at all possible!!!!

You may also want to talk to the viticulture folks associated with UC Davis. The have a company, Adcon, who has put a standard weather station at all the ag outposts to monitor vineyard meteorolgical conditions and irrigation needs. Called the Sims network (S?-irrigation-management-system), and is monitored by Division of Water Resources. If you wanted more info on this, you could call Jason Bend at (707) 994 0126, who does the meteorological stuff for the Oakville Experimental Vineyard, near Napa, or Chuck Vaughn at Hopland Exp Ag station, (707) 744 1424. The impression I got from talking to these folks is that these expensive electronic network stations are fancier than needed, and both Jason and Chuck liked their older, standard, simpler meteorological probes/methods better (which they also have on-site). Oh, well. In addition, Jason suggested that the automatic-tip rainguages read remarkably low during downpours (apparently, the water coming down the funnel just pours constantly during a downpour and prevents the tipping action of the lever, thus resulting in a lower reading. He feels that during gentle rains, the drip-drip allows for tipping, but he always compares his manual-read gauge to the tip-gauge to get accurate precipitation for heavy rains.)
