Weather Station Benefits School

Funded by a NASA STEM grant, Vincennes University in Indiana purchased a Capricorn FLX™ Weather Station with the Weather MicroServer™ and Weather Master™ software. Assistant Professor of Geoscience Andrew Smith recently shared how the weather station has benefited multiple departments at the university:

“Data from the station is utilized by several departments and classes on campus. I use the data in my Intro to Weather and Climate and Earth Science courses . . . at least one agriculture class uses the data and surveying classes over in technology use the atmospheric pressure data so they have the most accurate information for surveying projects on campus.

“I would absolutely recommend this station. Installation was pretty straightforward and it has been reliable thus far. I appreciate the flexibility it offers in terms of data that can be displayed and downloaded. Columbia technical support was very prompt and helpful when I reached out with a question. Plus, it looks really cool on top of our building!”
