For those of you who are wondering what’s happening with the weather station at the old Aurora station in Adventdalen (the one that used to be online), here’s the story.
The old station is set up with Windows 95 and after the old PC collapsed UNIS hasn’t been able to replace it. The proposed solution is to replace the complete station with a new one that apparently would cost NOK 120,000. Unfortunately UNIS hasn’t got the money.
So instead the Sailing Club is looking into deploying light, cheap GPRS stations (NOK 5,000) sending data regularly to vindsiden.no. We’ll keep you posted on the progress.
