I got some info from Mesowest site on Facebook about how they updated the Flight Park South Meter. I am not sure if this is the same link we have been using. But here is the link.

"Most importantly, reliable communications after replacing the 10 foot tower with a 30 foot tower. Right now it is updating on the web only every 15 minutes but will report every 5 once a new power regulator is install...ed to take advantage of a second solar panel. Then, an anemometer was added at the 30 foot level to supplement the sonic anemometer at 20 feet (right now the winds remain from the sonic). The soil temperature sensor was replaced after being chewed by gophers and a precipitation gauge added as well."
