And with this photo from the NWS SFO web page, I think we have enough for a complete survey:

The GPS coordinates aren’t correct, and are in a farmers field. I ran out the daylight asking local farmers if they knew where the weather station is.

The description indicates; south of the river, and doesn’t match the GPS coordinates which were north of the river. Once I ascertained the prize isn’t north of the river, and on a farm, I Googled the observers names, lo and behold they both work for the City of Marengo, one of them at the wastewater treatment plant. I am confident the weather instruments are near the wastewater treatment plant.

I also learned that there are warm digesters, and (what I consider) hot digesters…

From: Waterways is the official publication of the Illinois Rural Water Association
Volume III • Spring 2007 http://www.ilrwa.org/Spring%202007-Final.pdf

“… sludge has been centrifuged it is transferred to the Thermophilic Digester. The average detention time here is approximately 10 days at 130 degrees. As sludge is pumped into the Thermophilic it will automatically overflow into the Mesophilic Digester. In the Mesophilic digester the approximate detention time is 30 days at 98 degrees. …”

FRESNO YOSEMITE INTL AIRPORT ON NORTH SIDE OF RUNWAY 11L

I think I’ve located it in this aerial photo, but can’t tell exactly what “pad” it might be in the area between 11L runway and taxiway.

Looks like you should be able to get pictures from the fence line near the parking lot of the FBO/small aircraft office there.

Still I bet you could make an appointment or even ask the staff to email a few pics.

Where supposedly is the Fresno station? I’ll get my friend out there immediately.

[still kicking myself over CalPoly SLO]

Looks like a job for the Mission Impossible team. Alert Tom Cruise. Or the A-Team. I know Mr. T is available, because my son met him at a restaurant in LA recently.
