Weather Station

Middle and high school students contribute to an Internet database for the Puerto Rico Weather Network. Thirteen Puerto Rico public schools are involved in this outreach initiative, Education and Climate, sponsored by the Puerto Rico Space Grant Consortium of NASA. Students from each networked weather station measure and upload data for wind speed, direction, temperature, relative humidity, barometric pressure, and precipitation. Three locations also measure solar radiation and UV index. Director of Education and Climate, Ricardo J. Morales de Jesús, Ph.D., professor of physical sciences at UPR, RP, also coordinates teacher training in the field, research activities through a virtual community, and field trips.
