Hi,
I am interested in setting up stations for agrometerology, to allow one to do growing degree days and and other sums inform an integrated pest management programme.
I have a fairly comprehensive collection of Davis and other research Grade Sensors and built up a number of Weatherduino sets of boards.
Eventually these will be deployed to farms to give a network of robust data to inform IPM programmes and other agric applications.
I teach at www.sruc.ac.uk so it is part of my job as well as my interest. I used (some time ago 1990's) to grow coffee and tea in PNG and we had some of this type of data to predict coffee leaf rust outbreaks.
Werk is doing some work on Apogee PAR and solar radiation sensors making this excellent system even more useful to those of us involved in growing things.
