CRREL monitors icing on high-voltage power lines for design criteria and ground truth for weather models
This photograph shows one of the AEP monitoring sites. Each site is equipped with three interconnected components – from left, a solar panel, web camera and data acquisition system (white box) that collects data from an anemometer and temperature/humidity sensor. The site provides daytime images and 24/7 data of meteorological events at the site during the cold weather months.
