      Hi

      How far above ground level are these recordings made?

      Is it 10m?

      Many thanks

      Logan

        Hello,
        Recordings at official weather stations (WMO, airport) are taken at a 10m height. This is the WMO standard.
        While some of the personal weather stations (pws, MADIS) are equipped with sensors at 10m, some are not at this height. So with these stations you never know.
