A
new service in the wind for area boaters!
The
National Weather Service Forecast Office in Columbia is interested
in installing weather monitoring units at Lake Wateree and Lake
Marion. These weather monitoring units will provide :
-
Wind
Direction and Speed
-
Air
Temperature
- Rainfall amounts
Boaters
and fishermen can help us by recommending possible locations for
these weather monitoring units. The sites must have power and
telephone service nearby, and to ensure most accurate wind
information, be in a open area (no large buildings or trees blocking
the wind system).
E-mail
us with your recommendation for sites!

Weather
Partners Needed
To
relay the information from each of the weather monitoring units to
NOAA Weather Radio and our web page, we are seeking interested
non-profit organizations to participate as a weather partner. The
organizations will be responsible for providing electrical power
(units require 120 volts for sensor power and a data modem. Power
consumption of both units is minimal), a telephone line (since the
data will be accessed frequently during the hour a separate phone
line will be required) or an "always on" Internet connection, and a secure location for the sensors.
If you
would be interested in sponsoring a weather monitoring site, e-mail
us at CAEWX@noaa.gov.
