Automated Weather Meters for Bats and Onshore Wind Turbines - Survey, Assessment and Mitigation
If you're involved with Bat Surveys, you'll know the importance of having a reliable record of weather data.
Scottish Natural Heritage have produced best practice guidance for developers and planners to ensure that onshore wind energy developments post minimal risk to bats.
Section 5.2.6 states: Weather data including wind speed, temperature and rainfall are important for the interpretation of bat activity data, and should be recorded nightly for all types of bat survey. The use of automated weather meters is strongly encouraged, and it is suggested that more than one unit is deployed per site to allow for equipment failures.
