About the Station

The FHL Weather Station (FHLWS) is a fixed-shore land platform that has served the FHL community continuously since June 2006. It is located on Cantilever Point (above the FHL Pumphouse, Lat = 48.546275, Long = -123.007584) and is maintained by the Carrington Lab.  Each parameter monitored by the weather station is listed in the table below, with the corresponding unit of measurement and instrument. We summarized the data to date in this FHL Tide Bite in 2023. Check it out!

Need data from more than 2 months ago that are not yet available at BCO-DMO? Please reach out to Emily Carrington (ecarring@uw.edu) with a request.

We also collected ~6 years of seawater temperature and salinity data near the FHL Pumphouse (2010-2016, -1.7 m below MLLW) using an SBE Microcat. These data are archived here as project #775732 of BCO-DMO.
