Yes

A brief description of how weather data or sensors are used:
Pomona College utilizes an onsite weather station that provides up-to-date climate information to maximize the application of irrigation water. This data is calculated hourly and sent to the Rainbird "Maxicom" controller daily before the start of each irrigation cycle. The pre-determined watering schedule is then modified according to weather conditions. All watering ceases if the station receives more than one-half inch of rainfall.
None
