Microclimate monitoring

When you're protecting people, optimizing performance, or ensuring compliance, you know you can't rely on generalized regional data that misses what's happening where it matters most. Your decisions depend on what’s happening right here, right now, and the data must be precise. What if you had an accurate, affordable, easy-to-install solution to capture the hyper-local microclimate data that directly impacts safety, performance, and compliance?

Big decisions can’t depend on vague forecasts

When the wrong call can delay a project, trigger a health hazard, or lead to missed thresholds, relying on offsite weather data is not accurate enough. Without real-time, local monitoring, you risk:

Unseen temperature or humidity spikes in critical zones

Dangerous air quality or wind shifts at ground level

Regulatory violations and compliance blind spots

Poor modeling due to missing site-specific variables

You need data you can trust, but you also need it fast, without a steep learning curve or expensive upkeep.

METER builds environmental monitoring tools that combine high accuracy with low complexity: ideal for fast deployment, dense networks, and demanding sites:

ATMOS 41 weather station delivers 12 atmospheric variables in one compact, no-maintenance device: perfect for rooftop, roadside, or remote installs.

ZL6 data logger and ZENTRA Cloud give you real-time access to data from anywhere, with automated updates and instant alerting.

Integration-ready outputs and open APIs make it simple to stream data into your models, dashboards, or safety protocols.

Start small. Scale fast.

Building or expanding a microclimate network doesn’t have to be complicated. Whether you’re covering a city block, a research corridor, or an entire utility footprint, METER makes it simple to start and easy grow on your terms:

Identify your microclimate zones: around heat islands, active work zones, or sensitive natural areas.

Install ATMOS and ZL6 systems in minutes, no trenching or calibration required.

Access and share real-time data through ZENTRA Cloud, and adjust operations instantly.

See everything. Miss nothing.

Act faster.

Without site-specific, real-time data, you’re left relying on assumptions. And when conditions shift quickly, that lack of visibility can lead to delayed reactions, missed compliance, and decisions that are more reactive than responsible. You could face:

Delays in operations and response plans
Public or worker safety issues
Fines, scrutiny, or regulatory backlogs
Broken trust in environmental reporting

When METER systems are in place, you get complete visibility and instant access to your environmental data, so you're not chasing uncertain conditions. With METER:

Get reliable, high-resolution environmental data exactly where you need it
Monitor multiple zones without multiplying effort
Simplify reporting and meet compliance with confidence
React in real time and keep projects, and people, safe

"I did a lot of shopping around, and I was really impressed by this ATMOS 41 all-in-one unit. It was more compact, it was easier for us to maintain, and it's not like we had an anemometer that we had to worry about the little wheel going around back and forth. The way that system is setup, it just works better for me. When we put it up, [they asked], 'Was that all there is to the weather station?' I said, 'Yep!'""

All-in-one weather stations

When your job depends on accurate weather data, delays and complexity aren’t an option. Whether you're monitoring microclimates in the city, managing job site safety, or tracking weather in remote recreation zones, the decisions you make need data that’s fast, precise, and always reliable. METER’s all-in-one weather stations put scientific-grade measurements in the palm of your hand—no lab coat required. The solar-powered, wireless ATMOS 41W delivers 10 critical atmospheric parameters with built-in telemetry. The ATMOS 41 Gen 2, paired with the ZL6 data logger, packs 12 sensors into a single compact device. Both are rugged, lightweight, and deploy in under 15 minutes—so you spend less time setting up, and more time making progress.

Wind speed and direction

When the wind matters, precision isn’t optional—it’s mission-critical. Whether you’re managing air quality in a dense urban zone, coordinating crane lifts on a construction site, or modeling wind patterns in recreational or industrial spaces, even the smallest variation can shift outcomes. The ATMOS 22 ultrasonic anemometer delivers what others can’t: research-grade wind profiling with zero moving parts and zero maintenance. Engineered for ultra-fine resolution—down to 0.01 m/s, including dead-calm 0 m/s detection—it captures wind dynamics near and within plant canopies and tight spaces where traditional sensors fall short.

Air temperature, humidity, barometric and vapor pressure

When you’re in the field, speed and certainty matter. Whether you’re tracking environmental shifts in a city corridor, managing job site conditions, or monitoring microclimates in tight canopy zones, you need trusted data—without the wait, the bulk, or the hassle. The ATMOS 14 delivers four essential atmospheric measurements in one rugged, compact sensor. Built for fast, plug-and-play setup with the ZL6 data logger, it’s ready to go when and where you are. Low maintenance. High performance. Zero wasted time.

Precipitation

When water drives your decisions, guesswork isn't good enough. Whether you're tracking rainfall for erosion control, managing irrigation in public landscapes, or monitoring construction site runoff, accurate data at the point of impact is essential. METER’s weather stations and rain gauges deliver exactly that—real-time, site-specific measurements you can rely on. Choose from high- or low-resolution models, each engineered for scientific precision and built to withstand the elements. With rugged design and field-tested reliability, they bring clarity to every watering event—right where decisions happen.

Air Temperature

Sometimes, all you need is rock-solid temperature data—nothing more, nothing less. Whether you're logging heat stress on a city job site, monitoring thermal shifts in a park system, or building a custom monitoring array, clarity starts with a trusted baseline. METER’s ECT air temperature sensor delivers accurate, no-nonsense performance in a compact, rugged form. When you need the full atmospheric picture, the ATMOS 41 Gen 2, 41W, or ATMOS 14 integrate air temperature with additional parameters. But when temperature is your focus, the ECT sensor gives you precision without complexity—available with or without a solar radiation shield, and ready to drop seamlessly into your system.

Solar radiation

When solar radiation drives performance, you can’t afford to rely on averages. Whether you're modeling urban heat islands, fine-tuning solar power systems, or tracking environmental shifts on-site, understanding solar input with precision is key to meaningful action. METER solar sensors deliver research-grade accuracy you can trust—built for the field, not just the lab. From optimizing solar infrastructure to mapping microclimate patterns in real time, these rugged tools give you the insights to design smarter, respond faster, and make every watt or weather model count.
