Comment:
The mounting heights given in the comment section for each parameter are those at the time of maintenance (2018-01-10). Questionable data has been flagged. The mounting pole of the wind vane was tilted by 90° to the west (axis of rotation of wind vane was horizontally) when the station was visited for maintenance, so wind measurements need to be disregarded until 2018-01-10.
