| Abstract/Contents: | Discusses the use of data loggers to monitor weather. States that "golf course superintendents looking for more site-specific weather data are also realizing the benefits of improved technology. Automated weather stations are available to monitor temperature, relative humidity, wind speed and direction, solar radiation, barometric pressure, rainfall, soil moisture, evapotranspiration, [and] leaf wetness." Explains that "versions of weather stations are available for those who do not require a complete station. The smaller weather station version can be crafted using a battery-operated data logger device equipped with sensors for the specific conditions that will be monitored...Unlike most conventional weather stations, the data stored in the data logger must be transferred manually from the field to a computer." Details the process of creating a weather monitoring system using a data logger and states that "data loggers can be used on golf courses primarily to monitor winter temperatures. The temperature data have proven useful for managing winter covers and in increasing...understanding of weather, snow, and ice effects on turfgrass survival." Describes potential uses of data collected with data loggers. Concludes that "the technology behind the data loggers and sensors will certainly improve, and with it [the] ability to manage turfgrass." |
