One of the things in life as a field biologist that interests me is looking at patterns in nature. And without a doubt the repeating patterns of the nature world can be precise and like clockwork. On the other hand, some phenomena, like the weather can be somewhat unpredictable.
Regardless, as part of my complusion for record keeping, I decided to equipment my work studio with its own weather station which will allow me to record not only temperature, but humidity, wind speed and direction and even rainfall.
This lastest gizmo in my collection is from Oregon Scientific and includes a complete set of solar powered, wireless remote sensors, base station and computer software to collect, graph, and compare the data over time. For now, I'll mainly get everything set-up and working and then some time down the road, start to include a few weather trends in my observations of the world.
