Gill Instruments Partnership Highlight

Image
  Weather data you can trust. Columbia Weather Systems and Gill Instruments have built a  partnership around this simple idea with our Magellan MX™ line of weather stations.   With GPS- and compass-equipped weather stations utilizing the sensor suite from Gill, the Magellan MX auto-aligns wind measurements the moment it's deployed, no manual calibration required. That speed matters most in mobile and portable applications, where public safety is often on the line.  Gill's Business Development Manager, Paul Berberian, put it this way: “One of the things I've always admired about Columbia Weather Systems is that they begin every conversation with the customer's application. They take the time to understand the operational challenge before selecting the right technology to solve it.”  Great to see this partnership highlighted by the team at Gill.

Fall is Approaching

Image
  As Fall approaches, it brings shifting winds, dropping temperatures, and changing daylight. Wind speed and direction have always been important measurements in our weather stations, helping our customers stay a step ahead as the seasons change.  As the leaves turn and the air cools, we are grateful for another season spent helping people understand the weather around them!  The picture below is "The" Tree at the Portland Japanese Garden, a maple in the Strolling Pond Garden that's become famous among photographers over the years, even earning a National Geographic award and a spot in a Smithsonian exhibition. Keep an eye on the Portland Japanese Garden 's Fall Colors Tracker for updates on when the maples hit peak color!
