W9SBU, Weyauwega, WI
W9SBU (Charles Clark) is a ham radio operator and member of
Waupaca
County ARES (Amateur Radio Emergency Services) providing
emergency and supplemental communications support. W9SBU is
a trained SkyWarn storm spotter and provides severe weather
live reporting to the National
Weather Service, Green Bay through radio communications.
Most often, radio communications are relayed through ARES SkyWarn
nets.
Daily minimum and maximum values of Temperature and Precipitation
are provided to the National Weather Service each morning.
The computer records and identifies the min/max of all data
and each morning, I log in as WYGW3 and submit data related
to temperature, rainfall and snowfall for the past 24 hours.
During the winter, snow core samples are taken weekly and right
after a storm and analyzed for total moisture content.
This assists NWS in predicting drought regions, water table
levels and risk of spring flooding.
This information provide by myself and many other volunteers
is available as a "Rainfall
Collective" through the NWS web site. Scroll down
to Waupaca - WYGW3
The same information is provided to the CoCoRaHS Network. My
CoCoRaHS Data select Wisconsin and Waupaca under location.
Click the icon under "view" for WI-WP-1.
Additionally, current data from my weather station is automatically
sent every 5 minutes to four different weather networks on the
Internet.
Data from the weather station is acquired by computer software
(Heavy Weather) through com port 1 and displayed as shown at
left. This provides all data in one screen rather than having
to change between screens on the weather console.
Another software program (WUHU) gets data feeds from the above
program and uploads the data every 5 minutes to several databases
on the Internet. The above data at the top right of this page
is called from two of those databases- AWEKAS (Automatic Weather
Map System) & HAMweather.
Data is sent to:
Citizen
Weather Observer Program
