Davies, Mary Ann; Kees, Gary . 2007. Evaluation of Affordable Battery-Operated Weather Stations for Remote Sites. 0724 2321. Missoula, MT: U.S. Department of Agriculture, Forest Service, National Technology and Development Program. 10 p.

The Missoula Technology and Development Center evaluated three battery-operated weather stations costing from $985 to $1,775. The stations were the HOBO Micro Station (Model No. H21-002), the WatchDog 700, and the Vantage Pro (Model No. 6150). Data could be downloaded from the HOBO Micro Station and the WatchDog 700 using hand-held devices such as a Palm personal digital assistant. The Vantage Pro's external wireless console can be located in a building that allows data to be viewed and downloaded. These are convenient features when stations are in remote locations.
