Overview
The Solar Radiation Shield enhances daytime temperature accuracy, even in direct sunlight. The radiation shield provides shade for the WQ101 Temperature Sensor and the WE600 Relative Humidity Sensor while allowing ample ambient airflow. This shield replaces the WE770 solar radiation shield.

Design
The new shield comes with the brackets and fittings to hold the WQ101 Temperature Sensor and the WE600 Humidity Sensor. It also comes ready to mount on the 1” stainless steel tube frame for the WE800 and WE900 weather stations. The solar shield offers easy installation and includes an integrated hanger, allowing for multiple mounting options. The shield has been treated to resist degradation resulting from exposure to UV rays, but the overall lifespan will depend on where and how the shield is mounted.

Questions & Answers
How many sensors can fit under the shield?
The WE770 Solar shield can house up to two sensors.
Will the shield protect from rain?
The Global Water solar shield will protect sensors from vertical precipitation, but is not guaranteed against blowing rain.

Restoring North Texas Streams to Historical Flows

North Texas is one of the fastest-growing regions in the state, an area that is expected to face increasing water needs. In order to meet these demands, the Upper Trinity Regional Water District ( UTRWD ) is building Lake Ralph Hall near Ladonia in southeast Fannin County, Texas. The lake has been in the works since 2003, with construction finally beginning in 2021. The population of the UTRWD is expected to grow 5-fold over the next 50 years, leading to increased water use. Ed Motley, Program Manager with the UTRWD stresses that even with conservation and reuse, new sources like Lake Ralph Hall are essential to meeting near-term and long-term water needs to support regional growth.

Science for Science’s Sake: Monitoring Ocean Energy Availability and Gulf Stream Dynamics 

Scientific research often begins with a question, sometimes driven by a specific goal or application, but many scientists believe in science for science’s sake. Marine environments and physical dynamics like the Gulf Stream are popular fields of research due to their complexity and importance, presenting a unique opportunity to learn more about previously unexplored phenomena. Environmental researchers, in particular, see the value in these ecosystems, but many also grew up with a passion for the natural world, and choosing a field that allows them to interact with and learn about the environment around us is an easy choice.

Research in the Reserve: Promoting Interdisciplinary Conservation at the Great Bay National Estuarine Research Reserve

On an early winter day in 1973, a helicopter buzzed over Durham, New Hampshire, just a few miles from the Atlantic Ocean. One of the helicopter’s guests, oil magnate Aristotle Onassis, owner of Olympic Refining, looked east of town and saw what he hoped would become the world’s largest oil refinery. Instead, he saw the Great Bay; thousands of acres of green coastal forest, mud flats, salt marshes, and estuarine tidal waters stretching over the land toward New Hampshire's small Eastern coastline. Onassis likely also saw a group of Durham residents staked out on the bay’s coast, ready for him to pass overhead. While out of place in the natural setting, an obvious message was spelled out in red paper: “Not Here.
