Summary[edit]
| Description |
English: Canolfan Seawatch Centre, Summerhouse Point The Canolfan Seawatch Centre building is a converted H.M. Coastguard lookout station for the busy shipping lanes of the Bristol Channel and is now used as a Maritime Interpretation Centre. Upstairs is set out as a ship's bridge and is equipped with radio receivers, navigational and meteorological instrumentation. The RADAR can be used to plot and find ships passing up and down the Bristol Channel and the VHF radio to listen to shipping communications. Downstairs there is a Rescue at Sea scenario. The wireless weather station was installed in July 2005 and records data every 30 minutes and can store up to 24 months of data. In 2007 two sensors were added: one to measure ultra violet radiation to indicate the risk of sunburn; and the other to measure solar radiation and the intensity of the sun. The weather station also measures air pressure, wind speed, wind direction and rainfall. |
