Urban landscapes can be far more variable than farm fields. Dr. Bryan Hopkins explains how soil sensors help turf managers find dry areas, avoid overwatering, and keep nutrients in the root zone, and then irrigate where water is actually needed.

A weather station can work as designed and still collect unrepresentative data. Jeff Ritter covers siting, connectivity, installation, maintenance, and how to separate sensor problems from real microclimate effects.

Actual ET depends on exchanges of water and energy. The ATMOS 51 VBR combines high-frequency temperature and humidity measurements with solar radiation data to support field-scale actual ET measurement in a compact sensor.

Choosing a weather station means weighing more than price and performance. Application risk, data reliability, spatial variability, and maintenance all shape what “fit for purpose” looks like.

Field-scale ET measurements can be difficult to expand across multiple sites. ATMOS 51 directly measures actual ET, supplementing an eddy covariance footprint or add field measurement locations.

Weather monitoring goes beyond graphs and charts.

Local data drives local action. TAHMO connects researchers, students, farmers, health professionals, and communities across Africa with local weather data.

Can virtual weather data replace an on-site weather station?

Virtual models can support broad estimates, while on-site stations measure conditions at your location. Understanding the strengths of each can help you choose the right approach.

What works at one measurement site may not scale to more.

Daniel Beverly, research scientist at METER Group, explains how the ATMOS 51 VBR directly measures actual ET to support crop water use comparisons with field-based data.

How many steps does it take to install your weather station?

Shaun compares setups and shows how the wireless, solar-powered, self-logging ATMOS 41W simplifies remote deployment—so you can spend less time troubleshooting and more time collecting data.

Reference ET estimates water demand under ideal conditions, but actual ET tells you what's happening in the field. Daniel Beverly explains how the ATMOS 51 VBR measures actual evapotranspiration in a more accessible way than a full eddy covariance tower.

Small microclimate differences can shape what survives at the treeline.

Dr. Richard Gill studies how air temperature, soil temperature, and soil water influence plant communities as climates warm.
