I have my anemmeter mounted on a pole 20 feet high and 35 feet from the
nearest trees. Is this still too close to avoid the turbulent zone around
and at the top of
these obstructions that will skew your readings?

 

I just recently made some changes in my weather station location, moving it
out away from the house and installing the temp/hygrometer sensors in a
radiation shield I purchased from Ambient Weather. This made a big
difference in the reliability of the reading which I hope to tweak a little
better. Getting it out in the open is definitely the way to go. Does anyone
have a suggestion on how to do this and still provide them some protection?
