Road trip update: 5 stations, 376 miles

20 04 2008

I surveyed 5 NOAA USHCN stations today, 2 water plants, 1 sewage treatment plant, and two private observers. Total distance traveled: 376 miles.

All stations had MMTS, and were CRN 3,4,5 rated. The sewage treatment plant was a real gem. Mold on the sensor. MMTS was mounted about 18 feet from an open sewer inlet. I have all the yucky pictures.

Total CO2 footprint contributed by travel today: I have no idea, but still less than Al Gore’s.

I still have a week to go. I need a stiff drink. Jeez bought me one.

UPDATE TO THE UPDATE: Had that stiff drink, and washed the smell of today off myself. I don’t have the full survey report done, but gotta love those USHCN official climate stations at sewage plants. This one passed the smell test.
