The platform midway up the structure is a point at which the observer can lower the top half of the pole to change the red light bulbs at the top. The aerovane on this tower is approximately 75 feet above ground level.

The aerovane to the right is a second unit located atop our new automated station. It sits approximately 15 feet above ground level. Both units measure wind speed in miles per hour, and direction in degrees of the compass.
