Why a fence is built around a weather station and why is it not built too high?

A fence is built around a weather station to protect sensitive equipment from vandalism, theft, and wildlife interference, ensuring accurate data collection. The fence is typically not built too high to maintain visibility for monitoring purposes and to comply with safety regulations, allowing personnel easy access for maintenance and inspections. Additionally, a lower fence minimizes the risk of obstructing the surrounding environment, which can influence weather measurements.
