Meteorological sensors for research projects

These pages focus on a range of research grade met instruments for precipitation, wind, turbulence, visibility and present weather measurements.

Information about the research projects in which each instrument is used is accessible by clicking on the "research" link to the right of each of the product photos

For PRECIPITATION Studies

The Micro Rain Radar (MRR) precipitation profiler from Metek, the Laser Precipitation Monitor (LPM) disdrometer from Thies Clima, the Precipitation and Fog Collectors (models NSA, UNS, NES) from Eigenbrodt are all used in scientific research projects. Please click links below for more information.
