For quite a few years, the lab has been using METER Group’s all-in-one meteorological sensor, which measures air temperature, relative humidity, solar radiation, precipitation, wind speed and direction, barometric pressure, lightning strike frequency and distance, and sensor tilt. We’ve had many of these instruments installed at sites in Arizona, Colorado, and New Mexico, for both long-term installations and short-term measurement campaigns.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In mid-March, we had a visit from Chris Chambers and Carol McFarland from METER Group (formerly Decagon Devices). Chris gave a talk in the SICCS Informatics and Computing Weekly Seminar on “Designing measurement systems with biophysical insights”, and then after lunch at Martanne’s Burrito Palace, Chris and Carol held an “Office Hours” session where they were able to show off some of their new products to the NAU community. We then took a break for a well-attended happy hour “science session” at Mother Road. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

After the visit, Carol noted that “it was lovely to learn more about your work, connect with some of your colleagues, enjoy some Flagstaff highlights, and meet your fantastic group of graduate students!” <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Thanks to you both, Carol and Chris, for a fun and informative visit! <\/p>\n\n\n\n
