    • Cedar Hill Tower Data

    Metadata Updated: September 19, 2023

    A meteorological data system was designed, assembled, and installed to obtain, on a continuous basis, wind and temperature information at 12 levels on a television transmitting tower 1434 ft in height. Measurement and recording of atmospheric variables was accomplished entirely automatically, the output being in the form of punched paper tape and a record prepared by an electric typewriter. The tower used as an instrument support was triangular in cross section, measuring 12 ft on a side with no taper, was extensively guyed, contained a 2000-lb capacity elevator, and was capped by a triangular superstructure 75 ft on a side and about 14 ft high.

    Lineage The data were fed into a system that averaged the data, and a readout punched a tape and operated an electric typewriter. The punched tape was reproduced to produce cards. The cards were edited and placed on magnetic tape to create this digital dataset.
