Automated Meteorological Monitoring Station at the Adirondack Ecological Center

威廉·波特博士是阿迪朗达克生态中心主任，该中心由纽约州立大学管理。该中心支持驻地和访问调查人员在各种栖息地进行实地研究，包括湖泊、溪流和从东部落叶林到北方森林的过渡。波特博士建议为中心的气象站购置新的气候传感器和自动记录仪器。这一设施的改进将提高中心收集的天气数据的精度和可靠性。这些数据用于研究各种主题的项目，包括野生动物管理、酸雨的影响和种群动态。这些新仪器将给各种各样的研究带来重大的好处。

Dr. William Porter is the Director of the Adirondack Ecological Center, which is administered by the State University of New York. The Center supports field research conducted by resident and visiting investigators in a variety of habitats, including lakes, streams, and the transition from eastern deciduous forests to boreal forests. Dr. Porter proposes to acquire new climatic sensors and automated recording instruments for the Center's meteorological station. This facility improvement will increase the precision and reliability of the weather data collected at the Center. These data are used in research projects that address diverse topics including wildlife management, effects of acid rain, and population dymanics. The new instruments will confer significant benefits on a variety of studies.
