If the former, please post the differences you're seeing sometime. I can try it standalone with the provided counter, but with my setup I can only have one wired to the Davis ISS. There’s ways to add multiple sensors, but not with my setup. I add new soil moisture/leafwetness sensors and their new AirLink PM2.5/PM10 sensor too. Finally spending my trump money from last year. I chose wx sensors over Doge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At DFW airport we also have an OTT Parsivel laser disdrometer that's pretty cool and we think *should* be the most accurate of them all, but of course it's very hard to say for sure.

How does the WXT536 perform with liquid equiv of frozen precip? I was considering one of those years ago, but at the time there was no option to separate the ultrasonic anny from the temp to place them at different heights. I'm not sure if you can now, but they now have the 532 (wind only) and 535 (everything except wind) options to pair together. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not sure if you can now, but they now have the 532 (wind only) and 535 (everything except wind) options to pair together. I really can't make any kind of assessment because we've had exactly one frozen precip event in Tarrant County since we set them up. I'm a little bit skeptical of their performance because acoustically speaking, wind driven graupel would behave quite differently than pure dendrites falling softly. But anyway, I'd have to look more into it. Our own sample size aside, the Parsivel disdrometer should be good at that because it images the hydrometeor shapes and calculates their fall speeds, which, when combined with air resistance equations should give an estimate of density. We submitted a proposal to NOAA to install two of those here in the northeast, one in a coastal location, and another at an elevated inland location to look into that exact problem, but the decision is still pending. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It really doesn't take too long, especially since I have small window units and a large portable. Give me open windows, fresh air and fans any day! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Typhoon Tip Posted May 10, 2021 Share Posted May 10, 2021 Man... Euro's Fri/Sat in a dead heat for top scoring on best days of the season thus far. WNW d-slope flow under 850 mb of +6 C by day ends under a solar max sun, of course that's predicated on the amount of sun ... The basic synoptic/coarse parameters look like 77 F with people driving off roads across fields for having slipped into comas operating heavy machinery on heroin type days - Thing about the Euro, I've noticed it tends to be a bit much with its RH fields at 300, 500, and 700 mb levels in its mid/ext ranges. So, I'm not sure with steadily rising heights those days, and a surface ridge stalled over PA enforcing katabatic flow through NE ..if we're really going to be that overcast ... I bet that's sunnier. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
