Question:
I recently purchased a Davis VP2 and am having trouble deciding where to mount the ISS...I'm thinking of extending a plumbing vent on my roof of my 2-story house and using that as my mast for the anemometer. The anemometer will be un-obstructed for 360 degrees. and be 1 meter above the roof peek. this location I believe is high enough to achieve a accurate measurement of wind direction and speed, but if I mount the ISS lower on the mast, I'm concerned about the radiant temperatures from the asphalt roof material. the mast will be on the south aspect of my roof, so during the summer it will be pretty hot.
any comments would greatly be appreciated...
thanks in advance..!!
