Image 1 shows the anemometer & wind direction vane mounting. It really needs to be a bit higher to avoid the roofline and there are some tall trees to the south which may affect the true windspeed from that direction (it is vertical although the picture doesn't show it).
Image 2 is of the modified rain gauge. The original OS rain gauge increments in 1mm tips, by enlarging the funnel area it now tips at just under 0.5mm
Image 3 is of the "Temperature in a Jar" solar sensor. It works simply on the green house principle, the temperature in the glass jar being warmer than the outside air temperature when the sun is shining. The software then compares the outside air temperature and the temperature in the glass jar and calculates the amount of solar energy based on the latitude & longitude of the location.
Image 4 is of the Temperature & Relative Humidity screen (a Davis Passive Radiation Shield), the temperature/RH sensor is located inside the shield.
Image 5 is the basic Oregon Scientific WMR928 kit as supplied, showing the indoor console, anemometer, rain gauge & indoor barometric/temperature/RH sensor
