Why this service

A functioning sensor does not automatically mean a reliable site

DNS Meteo assesses, for each meteorological parameter, whether the site and installation fit the intended purpose. The inspection combines visual assessment, measurements, metadata, photographs, distances and relevant WMO principles.

Assessment and analysis

  • ✓ Sensor height, surface and exposure
  • ✓ Obstacles, heat sources, reflection and shading
  • ✓ Mounting, cabling and maintainability
  • ✓ Representativeness by parameter and purpose
  • ✓ Metadata and changes in the surroundings

Deliverables

  • ✓ Inspection report with photographs and findings
  • ✓ Parameter-specific siting assessment
  • ✓ Prioritised improvement options
  • ✓ Clear limitations on data use
  • ✓ Advice on reinspection and metadata updates
