Warren Meyers, who got the pictures of Tucson’s asphalt climate station, went to another USHCN station today. He writes in his blog: “I then went to visit Wickenburg.

I couldn’t believe that NOAA allowed them to use consumer grade equipment. I was sure I just hadn’t located the MMTS […]
This picture below comes to me via surfacestations.org volunteer Kristen Byrnes, a 15 year old budding scientist that has created a bit of a stir with her critique of Al Gore’s Inconvenient Truth. Her website,”Ponder the Maunder” also has more photos of weather stations. It is the USHCN Climate Station of Record for Lewiston, Maine, […]
Pictures have been coming in to http://www.surfacestations.org from many places. This one is from Fort Morgan, Colorado’s USHCN climate station of record. Fort Morgan is in the eastern plains of Colorado, about 100 miles northeast of Denver. The sensor recording the wide open plains has four air conditioners near it!
