Weather Observer's Handbook 2nd Ed
« on: April 19, 2024, 04:18:43 PM »
Not sure where to post this, but it certainly covers Davis stations amongst many other weather-station related topics.

Just a heads-up that the 2nd edition of Stephen Burt's Weather Observer's Handbook is due to be published next week. This is THE bible for weather station owners and I know of no other book that covers the subject in such detail. The 1st edition was published several years ago now and 'The second edition has been fully updated throughout with new material, new instruments and technologies, and the latest reference and research materials'.

It's not cheap I'm afraid but does offer genuinely in-depth description of all the various AWS-related topics.

Ouch! $120 for the hard book though.

Even the Kindle version is expensive (but I pre-ordered it).  Got to feed the weather itch :)
