Weather Data: Virtual, In-Field, or Regional Network—Does It Matter?
Find out how different weather data sources compare and how those data affect the accuracy of common environmental models used by growers.
Weather Monitoring
Accurate weather monitoring demands reliable data you can trust made with equipment that won’t break down. Our weather instruments are developed, rigorously tested, and supported by scientists—so you can get the research-grade measurements you need at a price you can afford.

Scientific weather station performance data and weather sensor comparisons
We performed comparison testing for ATMOS 41 vs. high-quality, research-grade non-METER sensors and conducted time-series testing for sensor-to-sensor variability. Here are the results.
Weather monitoring system comparison: Which is right for you?
A comparison of common weather monitoring methods, pros and cons, and which technology might apply to different types of field research.
METER is trusted by
At METER, we think high-quality atmospheric data should not be complicated. ATMOS instruments are simple. No complex setup and maintenance—just accuracy you can continue to count on.
Ditch the complexity and the expense. Use the ATMOS 41 to fill gaps between larger, more expensive weather stations and characterize the variability at your site with less cost and less hassle.
“When we were deciding on equipment we asked ourselves: What kind of technology should we use? It had to provide high data integrity. It had to be easy to deploy and maintain. And it had to be cost effective. There’s not a lot of people in that sector. METER systems are low profile, they’re affordable, and the reliability is there.”

Stop hiding behind a shield
We performed a series of tests to see how the ATMOS 41’s air temperature measurement compared to other sensors, and the results were surprising, even to us.
