Product description
| “ | This multi-function experiment gathers data on wind, pressure, temperature, and humidity to generate a picture of the planets climate model over time. Note: Please allow trained Scientists to deploy for best results. Needs a deployed power unit & central station to operate. — FLOOYD Dynamics Research Labs |

Usage
Use a scientist to deploy this experiment. This only works on atmospheric bodies such as Kerbin or Eve.
Science per hour formula
The science per hour formula is as follows: base value of the module (0.3) · kerbal level multiplier · body surface science multiplier
The table for the kerbal multiplier value is the following:
| Level | Value |
|---|---|
| Not scientist | 0.05 |
| Level 0 | 0.25 |
| Level 1 | 0.35 |
| Level 2 | 0.45 |
| Level 3 | 0.60 |
| Level 4 | 0.80 |
| Level 5 | 1.00 |
For example a level 3 scientist deploying a weather experiment on Duna gives 0.3 · 0.60 · 8 = 1.44 science per hour
