LAKELAND FLORIDA DAILY CLIMATOLOGICAL WEATHER DATA ARCHIVE

Welcome to my weather observing web blog styled web page. I took up weather observing as a hobby in 1965 and 45 years later I still find it a fascinating and fulfilling past time.

I'm medically retired military, the U.S. Coast Guard. In the military I worked in radio communications as well as aviation and marine weather forecasting/pilot briefings, physical oceanographic research and environmental law enforcement, to include chemical and oil spill prevention and cleanup. I also worked in weather forecasting for some private weather forecasting companies, other federal government entities and in my private consulting business. After 31 years of work I retired in 2004 at age 47.

I was involved in professional severe storm chasing and research between 1984-1987 and 1994-1996. I did my chasing across the Great Plains from Texas in the south to North Dakota in the north, Colorado in the west to Kansas in the east, also Florida and Georgia. During the eight year period I observed 29 tornadoes on the ground. One was an F-5, ten were F-4's, ten were F-3's and eight were F-2's. Beginning in 1994 I was one of the first meteorological researcher to carry a lap top computer (very large compared to now) and download radar mages, etc. from the Internet via a cell phone.

Recently I joined Facebook. You can find me at http://www.facebook.com/thomasfgiella

My full parameter weather observing station is a model #6152 Davis Vantage Pro2 with model #6312 v1.90 LCD console, model #7747 fan aspirated instrument shelter kit and model #6332 wireless wind vane/anemometer transmitter kit. It's tied to my personal computer with the Davis 6510SER v1.0.8 data logger/PC interface. Wind data uploads occur in a 1.5 second interval, temperature related parameters a 10 second interval and barometric pressure a 60 second interval.

As far as software I use the excellent Weather Display v10.37P b44 and VP Live v1.1.10.14 I have a dedicated computer for the weather software. It's a home brewed PC clone running a 2.00 ghz Athlon XP 2400+ processor with 512 megs of RAM, a 150 gig hard drive and runs the Windows XP Home SP3 OS.

The model #7747 fan aspirated instrument shelter kit comes with only one solar panel that produces 1.5 to 2 volts under optimum solar conditions. This underpowered the ventilation fan in my opinion, so I added a second 2 volt solar panel in series with the first one. I now get 3-4 volts and the fan does a much better job aspirating the shelter. In the near future I plan on modifying the fan to run 24 hours per day.

All weather observation parameters are uploaded in real time to the Internet via a 20000 kbps download 5000 kbps upload speed permanent broadband connection. My weather station is part of the partnership between the National Weather Service (NWS) and private Automatic Packet Reporting System (APRS), as well as the volunteer Citizens Weather Observer Program (CWOP) and is ID'ed as #AR692/NZ4O. The weather observation data enters the NOAA Meteorological Assimilation Data Ingest System (MADIS) in Boulder, CO, where it enters the weather forecasting model's and 500+ other end users.

I live on the west central Florida peninsula which is located within the lightning capital of the western hemisphere, with on average 120 thunderstorm days per year. During the summer lightning season, which runs from the last week of May through the first week of October, any given location can experience up to three thunderstorm events per day. Unfortunately I see a higher frequency of lightning strikes being on a hill.

Check out the yearly average flash density of lightning per km2. The red and yellow colors represents the lightning strike bull's eye of the western hemisphere.

Because of the danger I use the Strike Alert Personal Lightning Detector. It's is the size of a pager and can be clipped to your pants. It tells you how close lightning is and if it's moving in your direction. In my opinion no weather enthusiast, sports enthusiast or ham radio operator should be without one.

My weather station location is in one of the warmer areas on the inland central peninsula. The location is suburban and on the south side fringe of the very large Lakeland metro area urban heat island, up on the Lakeland Ridge (see map above) and approximately 1/4 mile west to 1/3 of a mile south of Scott Lake. This location is on the west slope of the Lakeland Ridge that tops out at 260 feet AMSL. The part of the Lakeland Ridge that I live on is really more like a plateau that gently slopes downward to my northwest, west and south with a sharp drop on the north and east side.

By the way my hand held GPS receiver says that the ridge tops out at 280 feet not 266 feet AMSL and my weather station location 238 feet not 218 feet AMSL. My Kestrel 3500 digital altimeter says 222 feet. Which is accurate an old USGS topographic map or modern GPS or altimeter unit?! To further complicate matters there is an error on the topographical map. It shows a second area to my NNE at 230 or more feet when that location is actually on a slope well under 230 feet.

Several microclimates exist on and adjacent to my property. My property is approximately 1/3 acre in size, of which the Davis Vantage Pro2 weather station sits on the SW corner at an elevation of 218 feet ASL. The land elevation approximately 100 yards north and south of my property is approximately 2 feet higher. To the west of my property is an approximate 5 acre open meadow that sits approximately 2 feet lower and to my east a natural drainage corridor that once led to Scott Lake but has been altered into a closed pond that sit's approximately 3 feet lower. The property is wooded with five oak trees, one unidentified tree and one camphor tree, with the only clear spot being on the SW corner where the weather station is located.

During night time under radiational cooling conditions (clear sky, calm wind, low dewpoint) my weather station location runs approximately 5 degrees warmer than the surrounding region lowlands which are 100-150 feet lower. Basically the wind almost never stops blowing here on the hill at night time due to a Katabatic (down sloping) wind flow. The low spot's on the west and east side of my property have their own microclimates and run approximately 4 to 8 degrees colder when dry than my weather station location. The cluster of oak trees run approximately 5 degrees warmer than my weather station location but as I recently trimmed them all back dramatically the difference should be smaller during the next winter season.

As an example as follows are area minimum temperatures for early Wednesday morning February 7, 2007 under radiational cooling conditions.

During cold air advection conditions at both day and night my weather station location temperature runs approximately 1-2 degrees colder than the surrounding lowlands depending on the steepness of the lapse rate. Being on an exposed ridge approximately 100-150 feet higher than the surrounding lowlands average wind speed is approximately 20% higher.

As an example as follows are area maximum wind gusts for Saturday June 2, 2007 as T.S. Barry traversed the region.

45 mph 218 ft My Location CWOP #AR692/NZ4O 5.7 miles South Lakeland

31 mph 154 ft ASOS FAA Plant City Municipal Airport
35 mph 141 ft FAA SW Lakeland Linder Regional Airport
36 mph 136 ft NWS CWOP #CW7718 Lakeland Linder Airport
39 mph 128 ft ASOS FAA Bartow Municipal Airport
33 mph 128 ft NWS CWOP #CW4013/KI4EFL East Plant City
28 mph 125 ft NWS CWOP #AP566/KQ4KX SE Lakeland
35 mph 144 ft ASOS FAA Winter Haven Gilbert Airport

During cold air advection conditions when the wind direction is from the N-NE at both day and night my weather station location dewpoint runs approximately 5 degrees higher than the surrounding lowlands. This is due to being on the down wind side of Scott Lake.

I also see a bit of an enhanced Anabatic (up sloping) wind flow at daytime primarily from the NNE-SE. During summer time quite frequently a cumulus or cumulus congestus cloud will form over the Lakeland Highlands (my location) part of the Lakeland Ridge.

Check out the WFLA Doppler radar image below. If you look due SSE of the word Lakeland and NNW of the word Bartow you will see what looks like a blue and orange speck. It is a lone cumulus cloud that formed over the highest part (266 feet) of the Lakeland Ridge.
