About 15 years I worked as an instrument meteorologist. My responsibilty was to develop the network of meteorological stations in Finland and I wrote some manuals for observations. I also studied humidity-, solar radiation-, wind meassurement instrument and developed new ice accumulation measurement instruments. I also took part ot EC-technical co-operation being a member of COST-43 working group (Automatic |
