Weather Station on CORE's Rooftop

     Figure 1 shows that the data we collected from our weather station correlates with what was collected at Michelle International Airport’s data. There is a small dissimilarity in temperature but too small of a difference.

     In general when looking at temperature, 5 floors makes little difference to no difference compared to ground level.


     During the summer months it seems that the rooftop was windy but we didn’t know now much. The highest wind speed we got to this year was 15.2 miles per hour and an average high of 11.3 miles per hour during the year. We grow some very tough produce on the roof with that kind of speed!
