Brief description
Tom Gibson Nature Reserve AWS - part of the Tasmanian Hydro-Meteorological Sensor Web. Observed Phenomena: Solar Radiation, Air Temperature, Wind Speed, Wind Direction, Rainfall Rate, Rainfall Today, Atmospheric Pressure, Air Humidity. This dataset collection is produced using a combination of two instruments. The elevation of the site where this sensor is located places it as the second highest weather station in Tasmania. The location of the sensor is adjacent to the Ben Lomond ski fields. In an example of the way the sensor web can be re-purposed, the temperature and relative humidity figures can be used to calculate the wet bulb temperature at the site. The most important factor for snow making conditions is the wet bulb temperature.Data time period: 04 04 2012 , 30 10 2008
