Weather stations and pendant sensors used at our field sites being prepped for launch.
Take all of that planning and equipment to the field however...
A temperature/RH sensor hides in this radiation shield that was knocked over and wire severed.
A sensor set-up measuring temperature/RH and soil moisture knocked over and pulled up.
A weather station pulled completely out of the ground.
A repaired radiation shield stayed put, but the pendant sensor was bitten and cast aside.
A temperature/RH sensor that was pulled apart and chewed.
This damage had occurred over the course of several months and we had our suspicions as to who was responsible.
Vandals!
