Pierre Regional Airport (IATA: PIR, ICAO: KPIR, FAA LID: PIR) is a public airport three miles east of Pierre, in Hughes County, South Dakota. [ 1 ] Federal Aviation Administration records say the airport had 15,983 passenger boardings (enplanements) in calendar year 2008, [ 2 ] 13,692 in 2009 and 14,686 in 2010. [ 3 ]
Rain gauge for measuring liquid-equivalent precipitation; Ultrasonic snow depth sensor for measuring depth of snow; Pyranometer for measuring solar radiation; Unlike manual weather stations, automated airport weather stations cannot report the class and amount of clouds. Also, precipitation measurements are difficult, especially for snow, as ...
The LEDWI must provide a positive indication of unknown precipitation or rain before the system can transmit a report of freezing rain. If the LEDWI reports either no precipitation or snow, the system will ignore the input from the freezing rain sensor. The sensor is designed to detect and report icing from all weather conditions.
According to the government's data, 2003 had the least snow cover in the U.S., with 21.2% of land blanketed by snow. The snowiest Christmas happened in 2009, with over 60% of the ground covered.
Rain gauge for measuring liquid precipitation over a set period of time; Wind sock for measuring general wind speed and wind direction; Wind vane (also called a weather vane or a weathercock) for showing the wind direction; Present Weather/Precipitation Identification Sensor for identifying falling precipitation; Disdrometer for measuring drop ...
Winter Storm Warnings are now growing across the Midwest ahead of America's first high-impact winter storm of the new year. The coast-to-coast event is expected to bring a swath of hazardous snow ...
The same SNOTEL site in Nevada. The large panel in the foreground is the snow pillow. Basic SNOTEL sites have a pressure sensing snow pillow, storage precipitation gauge, and air temperature sensor. However, they can accommodate 64 channels of data and will accept analog and parallel or serial digital sensors.
The snow gauge suffers from the same problem as that of the rain gauge when conditions are windy. If the wind is strong enough, then the snow may be blown across the wind gauge, and the amount of snow fallen will be under-reported. However, due to the shape and size of the funnel, this is a minor problem.
