    FCS Guidance Note

    A full climate station should contain the following minimum equipment: a Stevenson screen, rain gauge, liquid in glass thermometers, sunshine recorder, anemometer, wind direction indicator, and evaporimeter. Optional items include a thermograph and hygrograph. The Stevenson screen should be mounted 1.8-2 meters above ground to house the thermometers at eye level. Four thermometers are required - for maximum and minimum temperature, dry bulb, and wet bulb. Their measuring range should be -35 to 55 degrees Celsius. The sunshine recorder and anemometer must be mounted at specific heights, while the wind direction indicator height is less important. Proper installation of equipment is needed to take accurate climate measurements
