Meteo weather station
THE MOTIVATION
It is precisely the existence of several measurement points that allows to deepen the knowledge of the climate of a territory in its infinite facets.
Those same factors that .. ultimately, influence the daily life of all the species living in the environment with which they live together.
The denser the network of measurement points, the more detailed the scale of the topoclimate and microclimate can be.
In the context of the restoration, Molino Maufet also wanted to contribute starting from February 2018, equipping itself with its own survey station.

How to Read a Meteo Chart
Maps of analysis and forecast of the wind referred to 10 meters above the ground over Italy, of the geopotential (height of an isobaric surface) and of the temperature relative to the baric level of 500 hPa typical of the average troposphere, of the ground pressure and of the temperature are displayed. of the air at the baric level of 850 hPa typical of the lower troposphere, of the relative humidity at the baric level of 700 hPa with superimposed areas of vorticity (positive or negative) at the baric level of 500 hPa and the maps relating to the forecast of the fronts. The update is daily around 08 UTC (3 UTC for the front forecast maps).
