	We use a Davis Vantage Pro 2 Plus weather station system, installed spring 2014. It monitors temperature, humidity, wind speed and direction, and UV radiation (among others) and transports that data to a console and ultimately to our computer. The cabled version was chosen for its stability and reliability. The weather station is on the north end of campus on the roof of Dennis Hall.

	All of the information generated by the weather station is sent to a console located in the CS batcave on the fourth floor of Dennis Hall. A display on the console shows the live readings from the station and sends data to new-proto, where weewx stores it in a SQLite database. A custom-written PERL script then moves that data from the automatic database to our PostgreSQL database.
