Office Hours 7: Soil infiltration measurement methods
Learn which soil hydraulic conductivity measurement method is right for your application in this live Q&A session with our science and product experts.
Office Hours 8: Weather station selection and installation
Learn which weather station is right for your application and installation tips for high-quality data in this Q&A session with our science and product experts.
With so many weather station options available on the market from the cheap and inaccurate to the massive weather stations that require a government grant to afford, making sure you have the right weather for your specific needs can be tough. You need something durable, research-grade, and something that works exactly where you need weather monitoring. How do you make sure you’ve chosen the perfect station for you and get it installed and maintained for optimal data?
Join Jeff Ritter, product manager for Plant, Canopy, and Atmospheric monitoring instrumentation here at METER and application expert Chris Chambers as they discuss critical factors you should consider when selecting a weather station and installation site. In this episode all about weather stations, they answer questions about:
- How and where to install weather stations and PAR sensors
- How to eliminate external factors
- The impacts of placement on weather station function
- Explaining the problems with relying on virtual weather
- The best ways to calculate evapotranspiration (ET)
- And more
