Steve, we use Tidbits, which are larger sensors with a mounting port, but here are a couple methods we've used in the past.
1. plastic flower pots: we hang the sensor from twine so it just clears the bottom of the pot. the pot is hung and stabilized with zip ties. 2. sewer pipe caps: these can be mounted with angle brackets. We usually coat both of these with camo paint. -----Original Message----- From: Ecological Society of America: grants, jobs, news [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Steve Hanser Sent: Wednesday, August 20, 2008 9:47 AM To: [email protected] Subject: [ECOLOG-L] inexpensive iButton radiation shield I am looking for an inexpensive method for constructing radiation shielding for iButton thermochrons. I am using iButtons to take winter temperatures in snowy conditions and I need protection from both direct and indirect solar radiation. I would appreciate any ideas. Thanks.
