An Interface System for Meteorological Data Using the ERTS Data Collection Platform
John Clark, Chester Wells · Arctic and Alpine Research · 1973
An eight-channel signal-conditioning system has been built to interface meteorological sensors to the ERTS Data Collection Platform (DCP). The interface system, which operates from two 12-volt storage batteries, couples four thermistors, a pyranometer, a net radiometer, a precipitation gauge, and a wind-speed transmitter to the DCP. Testing features and provision for driving analog recorders are incorporated in the system which is operating on Niwot Ridge, Colorado Front Range.
