A home‐made sunshine recorder

Abstract

nally 'modulated' by solar heating. Such a fog could last almost indefinitely in the absence of major weather disturbances. Sea fogs may persist for several days off the UK coasts, and weeks off the Californian coasts in spring and summerthe latter area being less subject to weather disturbance than temperate latitudes.Even in the absence of major disturbances, established sea fog is 'shaped' and moved (at typically 5-10ms-1) by the dynamics of local mesoscale circulations.

Letters to the Editor

“…It has been brought to my attention that the March and August 1995 issues of Weather contained articles on low-cost and homemade sunshine recorders (Burton 1995;Clark 1995) and I wonder if these or similar devices are a t the moment operated by schools or keen amateurs who could, therefore, provide some of the missing background information. As Recorder for the Lincolnshire Branch of BBCS I would be very interested to hear from any organisations or individuals within (or closely bordering) the county of Lincolnshire.…”
