Phil Posted October 31, 2017 Report Share Posted October 31, 2017 Greenland still hitting the mass-balance weight room. Making solid gains for a second consecutive year (so far). Not sure we can surpass 2016/17, which was the second largest overall mass gain since 1993, but we're off to a solid start. 1 Quote Live Weather Cam: https://www.youtube.com/live/KxlIo8-KVpc?si=xKLCFYWbZieAfyh6 PWS Wunderground https://www.wunderground.com/dashboard/pws/KMDBETHE62 PWS CWOP/NOAA: https://www.weather.gov/wrh/timeseries?site=F3819&hours=72 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Geos Posted October 31, 2017 Report Share Posted October 31, 2017 Geez - this would be a perfect setup if it were just a hair later in the season with 850s a hair colder. High in BC and a low at the mouth of the Columbia providing fairly good Fraser outflow and enough precip to make it count. Unfortunately, it looks like cold rain for most. I know it looks like a great setup. Just don't have that reservoir of cold air built up enough to the north in BC yet.Low of 34 on Friday night in my forecast. So close...Wonder if areas near Summit Lake west of Olympia will pick up any snow.

Sunday morning looks really nice with the outflow setting up and precip moving up from the SW, but that is a long ways away in model land.

If you have a fan aspirated system, the unit should be fine in the sun. Even without that, the cooling fins on the station are designed for maximum ventilation, so as long as your station isn't sitting over asphalt or anything else that will absorb/conduct heat to the atmosphere, you should be fine, I suspect. Also, you'll need the station in the open if you have a tipping bucket rain gauge attached to the ISS unit.
