MSU Department of Geosciences Brings Interactive Weather Station to Partnership

MSU Department of Geosciences Assistant Clinical Professors Sarah Lalk and Barrett Gutter show Partnership Middle School students how the new weather station installed at the school is used to collect data such as temperature, barometric pressure, precipitation, wind speed and humidity

Mississippi State’s Department of Geosciences, in collaboration with the Partnership Middle School—Starkville Oktibbeha County School District’s sixth and seventh grades—this week officially have opened an interactive weather station to help students better understand how air masses and frontal boundaries affect daily weather.

Barrett F. Gutter and Sarah R. Lalk, both assistant clinical professors in MSU’s Department of Geosciences, have worked with the Partnership Middle School in developing the system, which contains a variety of meteorological instruments including a thermometer, barometer, rain gauge, sling psychrometer, anemometer and wind vane.
