Identify Mounting Location—Landscape
Choose the desired location based on relevant details, including vegetation
cover throughout the season, solar exposure, and wildlife and livestock
activity.

If adhering to World Meteorological Organization (WMO)
a
siting standards,
make sure the mount location has minimal slope and low vegetation height so
the pyranometer found on top of the rain funnel will not be covered by shade.
Identify Mounting Location—Interferences
Consider a site far from sources of high electromagnetic interference (EMI),
such as high-voltage power transmission lines, metallic objects, sources of
heat, bodies of water, and obstructions. EMI sources could adversely affect
ATMOS 41W rainfall measurements.
