Lukla Wind Set WA15
In 2013 the Wind Set WA15 by Vaisala has been installed in Lukla.
Overview
• High-performance wind measurement set
• Long and successful track record in meteorological applications
• Low measurement starting threshold
• Conical anemometer cups provide excellent linearity
• Heated shaft prevents bearings from freezing

- Statement
-
The automatic weather stations (AWS) for monitor meteorological conditions are currently included in the SHARE network.
An automatic weather station (AWS) is defined as a “meteorological station at which observations are made and transmitted automatically” (WMO, 1992a).
In particular, in the framework of the SHARE project for all parameters, the data has been visually checked, looking for extremely and unusual low/high values and/or periods with constant values.
