We don't ship your weather station like this and you shouldn't either! In the event a component needs to be returned, please use the original shipping box if available as well as antistatic packing material. And be sure to contact us for an RMA number prior to shipment. This is an actual return for repair from an overseas customer. If the sensor wasn't damaged before, it probably is now!

Mac software WeatherSnoop is now compatible with Capricorn 2000EX weather stations. Besides graphical real-time monitoring, WeatherSnoop offers database, spreadsheet, graphing and data sharing with web-based networks such as Weather Underground and Citizen Weather Observer - all with the look and feel Mac users expect. "We are pleased to provide Mac weather enthusiasts with support for the Capricorn 2000EX weather station," said Boisy Pitre of Tee-Boy. "Columbia Weather Systems readily provided their support and expertise in adapting their station to WeatherSnoop, and we're happy to partner with them." For more information click: WeatherSnoop

We welcome Top Meteo of Italy as a new dealer. Owner Jonata Giorgini and sales manager Patrizio Turri visited our offices this spring looking for professional-grade weather stations to round out their product offerings. Top Meteo signed on and got their website up and running just in time to exhibit in Geneva at Meteo Hydex 2011 , the World Meteorological Organization's exhibition of meteorological and hydrological instruments and equipment. Their booth displays WeatherMaster Software ™ on the big screen with the Orion Weather Station ™ demo model which is available to dealers for trade shows and demonstrations.

A panel temperature sensor is now available for Capricorn 2000EX Weather Stations or any CWS Weather Station using our Weather MicroServer . This specialized sensor was developed for a weather station application monitoring solar panel arrays. photo by David Watts Jr. Solar panel temperature affects maximum power output - generally, the warmer the solar panel, the less power it can produce. In an industry that focuses on energy efficiency, panel temperature is a critical parameter to monitor relative to performance.

No matter how rugged the housing, meteorological sensors are sensitive electronic instruments. A Sensor Protective Case can help protect your sensor head in the rough environment of an incident response vehicle. These cases are constructed of ultra-high-impact structural copolymer, making them extremely strong and durable. They are unbreakable, watertight, airtight, dustproof, chemical resistant and corrosion proof, offering total protection for sensitive weather-monitoring instruments. Part Number 88173 (shown with Orion sensor head and cable, not included)

When Madonna University purchased a Capricorn 2000EX , Professor Asaad Istephan requested a PowerPoint® presentation to help spread the word. We created this one to highlight all the features of their configuration which includes a Weather MicroServer and WeatherMaster Software . While it is our business to be on the cutting-edge of weather monitoring technology, it is tough to keep pace with ever-changing social media. Today we are learning about SlideShare , a free website/application for sharing slide presentations on the Internet as well as embedding them on your own website. Check out our results.

"Responsive Architecture optimizes energy use by adapting to changing environmental conditions while increasing the quality of space." This according to American-Architects.com in its write-up of LumenHAUS as Building of the Week. That means monitoring environmental -- weather -- conditions and manipulating environmental controls such as HVAC, but also insulating panels, windows and shades. See how it's done by LumenHAUS . Is it a house of the future, or is such architecture realistic now?

We received a report with photos from a Capricorn 2000 user, Dixon Weather Service in Missouri: Wind damage in and around Dixon February 19 from supercells thunderstorm with strong meso. No tornado reports confirmed, but a lot of funnel clouds were witnessed. The pictures show the kind of weather we have here. 80+ mph as measured by your equipment. Keep up the good work! I am glad we went with your equipment -- just as good if not better than surrounding ASOS systems. View additional photos on Flickr

All weather stations manufactured by Columbia Weather Systems can now be integrated into PROFIBUS®, PROFINET® and LonWorks® networks. Interoperability is critical in many applications where weather monitoring is one component of a large automation control system such as process control, building or industrial automation, Adding these popular communication options allows managers invested with these systems to optimize their use of meteorological data for environmental monitoring and device control.
