Compact Agrometeo Stations
HOBO weather sensor data to calculate evapotranspiration and understand water loss
The primary component of hydrologic budgets, evapotranspiration (ET), the sum of evaporation and transpiration from plants, reflects the degree of water loss into the atmosphere, which is critical information when determining irrigation watering needs, groundwater supply levels, drought patterns, and other environmental impacts related to water budgets.
Superior ET Data to Inform Your Decisions
Whether you’re focused on environmental research, agricultural research, or crop production, Onset’s field-proven HOBO weather stations and sensors provide the accurate and reliable data needed to calculate evapotranspiration to support your water management decisions and understanding, from irrigation to climate impacts on ecosystems.
Compact Digital Weather Sensor - ClimaVue 50
The ClimaVue™50 is an affordable all-in-one meteorological sensor that fulfills your common weather monitoring needs with simplicity, when paired with any of Campbell Scientific’s highly flexible and scalable data collection platforms. This sensor uses SDI-12 to report air temperature, relative humidity, vapor pressure, baro metric pressure, wind (speed, gust, and direction), solar radiation, precipitation, and lightning strike (count and distance). It does this with no moving parts, while consuming little power. A built-in tilt sensor assures long-term data integrity. This diverse product is great for quick deployment, for remote locations, for large networks, as part of a more complex system, or if you just need something simple.
Benefits and Features
- All the common meteorological measurements with one simple digital (SDI-12) output
- Less than 1 mA at 12 Vdc average current, making it ideal for solar-powered sites
- Integrated tilt sensor helps assure that the sensor stays level over time
- Low maintenance—no moving parts significantly reduces maintenance cost and time
- 304 stainless-steel hardware for minimal surface staining in marine environments
- No sensor configuration required
- Compact design for quick, low-impact installation
- Compatible with all modern Campbell Scientific data loggers
- Detachable cable facilitates field replacement
