24-Hour Photometer for NearSys Station, 13 September 2019

The day started out clear, but partially cloudy skies popped up later in the day on two occasions. It's interesting to note that after 4:00 PM, not all colors were effected equally.



24-Hour Temperature and Relative Humidity for NearSys Station, 13 September 2019

We hit 100% relative humidity during the night. That's not unexpected, since when retrieved the sensor in the morning, it was covered in dew. However, it appears the second night was drier than the first.

Spiky results with a period of 24 hours. At midnight, the concentration of particulates is at their lowest. They then increase until late afternoon. Odd, I'll have to see if this occurs regularly now.
