Select the parameters.
Rainfall, air temperature, humidity, wind and radiation form the basis. Soil moisture and snow measurements can be added as needed.

From measurement to decisions
Measure. Connect. Understand.
Sensors, data loggers and analysis work together as a system. The equipment is selected for your measurement task and location.
Operate independently in the field.
Solar supply, battery and data transmission are designed for the location. A satellite connection is an option for remote sites.
Learn from the readings.
Consistent time series support field research, irrigation planning and hydrological models. Data delivery is matched to your workflow.
In the field
Monitoring that fits the site.
A look at real installations: mounting is part of the solution, along with sensors, power and access to data.
In alpine terrain too.
A monitoring station with a solar panel in snow; its design must suit the location.

What we measure.
Meteorological and agro-meteorological variables provide the lead for runoff, irrigation and heavy-rain models. Our climate stations run off-grid on solar/battery and transmit over LTE-M, optionally by satellite at remote sites. For valid rainfall data we add a wind shield and a frost-protection concept.
- Rainfallweighing or tipping-bucket gauge, year-round incl. snow
- Air temperature & humidityin a radiation shield to DWD standard
- Wind & global radiationfor evapotranspiration and energy balance
- Soil moisture & temperatureprofiles 10/30/60 cm
- Snow depth & SWEfor runoff forecasting in the headwaters
Methods & standards.
Rainfall measurement follows WMO-No.8 and DWA-M-181 — for valid data a wind shield (Nipher/Alter shield) and antifreeze solution are part of it. Reference evapotranspiration is computed per FAO-56 from radiation, wind, temperature and humidity. The loggers are designed for continuous operation down to −25 °C, with radiation shield and heating of the inlet area to DWD standard.
From the field
Field examples.
Wildstrubel: permafrost monitoring at 3000 mWith our Geopraevent colleagues on the Wildstrubel: a thermistor chain in a deep borehole captures temperature layer by layer, a satellite-linked weather station relays the data off-grid for years — solar-powered, no other infrastructure.
Solar weather station with soil moisture: pF values in the soil profileBehind that nondescript cabinet in the middle of nowhere: a solar-powered weather station with off-grid setup, optionally extended with soil-moisture probes for pF values. Makes infiltration through the soil profile quantifiable.
