NOAA P300A "Cotton Region" Thermometer and Weather Instrument Shelter Plans

Occasionally we document things non-electronic.
I like to measure things and had a hard time finding plans for weather instrument shelters.

The "cotton region" shelters are no longer the standard but still very useful.
There are links to all seven drawings:

Thanks to Bobby Hamill for sending these.

One interesting thing I've found is that sometime in the 1980's the standard white-wash paint used for these shelters became unavailable.
Common white latex paint came into use which caused an artificial rise in measured temperature due to it's increased absorption...
