| Abstract | Location Lat. 39º 24' 49", long. 76º 33' 11" Directions 1. 695 to Exit 29 Cromwell Bridge Rd towards Loch Raven High School 2. Past Loch Raven high school 3. Take the first entrance to the park - Sherwood House 4. Follow entrance towards house 5. Gauge is located just inside electric fence surrounding garden on left of road USGS Quadrangle - Towson Potential Hazards - Electric Fence Establishment - October 2001 Datum of Station - To be determined soon! Equipment - J& S Tipping Bucket rain gauge with HOBO Data recorder History * 31 October 2001 Gauge is installed in public gardens just inside of electric fence * Window screening is installed around gauge to prevent organisms from occupying it. The screening is taped around outside of gauge and stapled to platform it sets on. Refer to pictures for further illustration. This has been done sometime after installation. Panorama - This gauge is in a relatively open field bounded by forest Calibration Measurements -Calibration Measurements - Calibration of this gauge should be preformed as described in the users manual. Each bucket should hold 8.24 mL of water before tipping. This should occur five consecutive times. Adjust calibration screws as needed. Extreme Events No extreme events have been observed at this station to date. Winter Records - Rain gauge is not heated and is subject to freezing. Accuracy - Data should be ran through a quality control algorithm before use. Cooperation - Baltimore Ecosystem Study and University of Maryland, Baltimore County; Cromwell Valley Park, Baltimore County Photographs - Print collections may be available. Contact the MD-DE-DC District Office about any collections in the official station records. See Baltimore Ecosystem Study Meteorology Overview here: http://beslter.org/frame7-page_1p.html . |
