Preparing for Winter
As cooler weather approaches, it’s time to start considering preparing your raingage for winter operation mode.
Please consult the AIRMoN operations manual for further winterization information,
and feel free to contact the CAL, if you need addition assistance or technical support.
Reminder: Change in Sample Volume Protocol
NADP voted to save all AIRMoN samples of volume < 50 mL, thus you should no
longer discard ANY low-volume samples. Remember to ship the entire low-volume
sample to the CAL for analysis.
