Hoestgaard, M.B.
The HARDI METPOLE is a new fully equipped weather station with the major advantage of wireless transmission of weather data to a PC. The HARDI METPOLE and its data presentation software have been developed to be utilized by farmers. The Metpole is equipped with sensors for collection of the following weather data: Wind velocity, 2.0 metres above the ground; Surface wetness, 2.0 metres above the ground; Global radiation, 2.0 metres above the ground; Air temperature, 1.5 and 0.2 metres above the ground; Air humidity (% RH), 1.5 and 0.2 metres above the ground. Rainfall, 1.2 metres above the ground; Soil temperature, 0.1 and 0.3 metres depth; Soil water content, 0.1 and 0.3 metres depth. The data are transmitted by radio waves to a receiver at the farm and presented in the PC software. All data can be transferred to files in ASCII-format and used in any other software programme for future use in computerized monitoring and forecasting systems. This is at present being prepared in the Danish PC-Plant Protection programme for tests in 1994
