Today we manage a smooth setup of the station, which consists from HiLDA side of a single N3 OPC and a webcam. The weather is recorded by the Veðurstofa station nearby. In addition, Brian sets up a TSI DustTrak OPC, which will be here for the summer. This instrument needs a separate shelter, though. So after a careful consideration of different options, we install it inside an old Land Rover, which sits in a suitable distance from the next building with a bunch of siblings since 20 and more years. Due to the English craftsmanship, we’re confident that it will serve its duty as ‘protected casing’…
Many thanks to Sigga and Bragi, who allow us the station setup at their home Grímsstaðir! Their family is actually caring for the meteorological station since the beginning in 1907.
