In June 2006, a Campbell Scientific Weather Station was installed at Cantilever Point on the FHL campus by the Carrington lab. We added underwater sensors (-1.7 m below MLLW) in March 2010. Temperature loggers have also been deployed along a vertical transect (20ft to 80ft) by the Sebens lab since 2006. Each parameter monitored by the weather station is listed below with the corresponding unit of measurement and instrument.
| Parameter | Unit | Instrument |
| Rainfall | mm | Tipping Bucket Rain Gauge (Texas Electronics) |
| Total Radiation (solar + sky) | W m-2 | Net Radiometer (REBS) |
| Solar Radiation | W m-2 | Pyranometer (LI200X) |
| Solar Radiation | PAR (μmol m-2 s-1) | Quantum Sensor (LICOR) |
| Wind Speed | m s-1 | Wind Monitor: propeller & vane (R.M. Young Wind Monitors) |
| Wind Direction | Degrees (relative to true N) | Wind Monitor: propeller & vane (R.M. Young Wind Monitors) |
| Relative Humidity | % | Air Temp and Humidity Probe (PRT and Vaisala HUMICAP 180) |
| Air Temperature | oC | Humidity & Air Temp Probe |
| Wind Chill | oC | |
| Intertidal Temperature | oC | Thermocouple Wire |
| Seawater Temperature | oC | Thermistor (SeaBird Microcat) |
| Seawater Temperature at Depth (20ft to 80ft) | oC | Thermocouple (Onset Hobo Temp Loggers) |
| Seawater Salinity | PSU | Conductivity meter (SeaBird Microcat) |
| Seawater pH | pH units | Field-effect pHmeter (Honeywell Durafet III) |
| Underwater Radiation | PAR (μmol m-2 s-1) | Integrating Sphere (LICOR) |
