► Abstract
Five Remote Automated Weather Stations (RAWS) are operated by Vermont Dept. of Forests, Parks and Recreation to predict fire danger.Three historical stations data records are also available. Continuous monitoring of meteorological variables to use in conjunction with other FEMC weather stations give improved spatial coverage of weather conditions around Vermont.

► Methods
- Current Methods
- Meteorological variables
- Started: 1999-05-01
- Method Description: Meteorological data comes from five remote automated weather stations operated by VT FPR as part of a national network of stations used to predict fire danger. Variables measured are solar radiation, wind speed, wind direction, air temperature, relative humidity, barometric pressure and precipitation. Some stations measure fuel temperature also. The data here are daily averages made available by MesoWest. For detailed information on each station visit MesoWest Weather Summary for Vermont Instrumentation: Pyranometer, anemometer, temperature probes, Relative humidity sensor, barometric pressure sensor, tipping bucket.Quality Control Measures: VT FPR maintains the equipment and Mesowest aggregates and QA/QC checks the data published on its website
