Measurements & outputs

Measurements and outputs

  • Temperature, rainfall and wind speed or direction.
  • Radiation and barometric pressure where supported by the station configuration.

Research workflow

Research workflow

Establish appropriate siting, sensor maintenance and quality-control routines.

Connect local observations with household and individual measurements using consistent timestamps.

Interpretation & current limits

Interpretation and limitations

  • Variables and coverage depend on equipment and station configuration.
  • Station observations describe a location. Spatial differences and household conditions still matter for individual exposure.
