I guess I'm the guilty party for suggesting this new forum section, so maybe I should just outline why I believe this new section could be valuable:
Many people people here will be hobbyists who monitor weather from their own home, where there will usually be services available like mains power and a broadband Internet link. But some users may also be able to site stations at locations which are distant from towns and other properties. These 'remote' locations can be excellent for weather monitoring either because the site is very open and so sensor exposure can approach the ideal much more easily or because the weather at the site may be plain interesting, like a hilltop site or perhaps a vacation home or cabin that you have.
The weather sensors at a remote site don't usually need to be any different from usual, so the standard Davis, Oregon etc stations should still be perfectly suitable. But what very often does have to be different is how you get access to the weather data. Actually, if you're able to visit the site with a laptop at eg weekly or monthly intervals simply to download blocks of logged data to the laptop, then there are no special issues involved. But what if you want live weather data from the remote location or daily downloads or you just can't get to the site very often? Then you need some sort of data link to the remote site and issues around how best to set up these links will I guess be the staple diet for this forum section.
I'd suggest that weather data links from remote sites set two main types of challenge:
1. Electrical power: Although the weather sensors and loggers can usually run pretty well on batteries and/or small solar panels, data links typically create a challenge of a different magnitude. A Davis VP2 system plus USB logger will run quite happily on about 24mAh a day. But introduce a cellular modem into the setup to stream live weather data back to base and the power requirement can rise to 5-10Ah/day. And while it's not too difficult to generate this amount of power from eg a solar panel in summer, what can be much more tricky - especially if you live in more northerly or southerly latitudes - is to keep the system running over the winter when the available solar energy may be only 5-10% of the summertime level. Wind power is obviously another option but a combined solar/wind installation can start to become expensive.
2. The nature of the data link back to base, which will typically take some form of cellular, other wireless or satellite connectivity.
Of course, professional wx station installers have been grappling with these various issues of remote installations for many years now, but typically their solutions are expensive and often don't offer live data. I think what many of us here are interested in are solutions that are as affordable and cost-effective as possible and, where feasible, do offer live weather data. Hopefully this forum section will offer some ideas and answers for affordable remote weather monitoring.
