- Practical insights
- For policy and operations
What is WMO siting classification?
An observing site is assessed by parameter because wind, temperature, precipitation and radiation each require different exposure conditions.
Read article →ArticleWhen is a wind measurement representative?
Representativeness depends on sensor height, obstacles, roughness, terrain and the spatial scale for which data are used.

Mould risk cannot be reliably inferred from one isolated humidity reading. Time, temperature, surfaces and ventilation are essential.
Read article →ArticleControlling solar shading with wind and irradiance
The safety and effectiveness of automatic shading depend on representative sensors and explainable control rules.
Read article →ArticleWhy inspect an observing site periodically?
The surroundings change: trees grow, buildings appear, sensors are replaced and maintenance access deteriorates.
Read article →ArticleGIS and obstacle analysis for observing sites
GIS makes distances, heights, sectors, terrain and land use measurable before a site is selected or visited.
