Details

Overview
The KestrelMet 6000 is a reliable cost-effective all-in-one professional weather station for commercial, industrial, educational, and research applications. Easily deployable and remote, the KestrelMet arrives pre-assembled for fast set up and frustration-free installation. Cellular versions of the KestrelMet 6000 include a low-cost cellular plan with the first year free.

Mounting Options
Choose between the Mono Mount Kit or the Tripod Mount Kit to best fit research needs. Both options offer quick installation and a secure mounting system. The Mono Mount can be used on a pitched or flat roof as well as a vertical surface such as a gable end. The Tripod can be used on flat terrain, on a flat roof, or on the ridge of a pitched roof.

Design
Solar radiation can cause measurement errors and reduce sensor accuracy. Shielding over the air temperature and relative humidity sensors and a 24-hour aspirated fan keep air moving constantly over the sensors. This results in a significant improvement in measurement accuracy versus passive-shielded weather stations with no aspiration fan.

*Note: cellular transmission is set at 15-minute intervals.

Specs

Sensors	Accuracy (+/-	Resolution	Range	Notes
Wind Speed	larger of 5% or 1 mph between 1 to 57 mph	0.1 mph 0.1 knot 0.1m/s 0.1 km/hr	1 to 100 mph 1 to 86.9 knots 1 to 44.7 m/s 1 to 160.9 km/hr	Wind speed is measured continuously and stored in station memory as a series of 2 second averages. The reported wind speed is the average over the 15 minute logging interval. The highest measured speed during the logging interval is reported as the gust value.
Wind Direction	2°	1°	1° - 360°	Wind direction is measured continuously and stored in station memory as a series of 2 second averages. The reported wind direction is the average scalar direction over the 15 minute logging interval. The gust direction is the average scalar direction for the 2 second record corresponding to the gust value.
Temperature	0.45° F 0.25° C	0.1° F 0.1° C	-40° to 140° F -40° to 60° C	Temperature is measured once per minute. The reported temperature is the average value for the 15 minute logging interval. High and low temperatures are based on the 1-minute readings.
Relative Humidity	1.5% between 0 - 80%	1%	0 to 100%	Humidity is measured once per minute. The reported humidity is the average value for the 15 minute logging interval. High and low RH are based on the 1-minute readings.
Absolute Pressure	1.5 mbar/hPa 0.044 inHg 1.1 mmHg	0.1 mbar/hPa 0.01 inHg 0.1 mmHg	600 to 1100 mbar/hPa 17. 72 to 32.48 inHg 450.0 to 825.1 mmHg	Pressure is measured once per minute. The reported pressure is the average value for the logging interval. High and low pressures are based on the 1-minute readings.
Rain Rate	5% at 2"/hr	0.01 in/hr 0.1 mm/hr	0 to 7.8 in/hr	Rainfall is measured continuously in 0.2 mm increments (tipping bucket calibration volume)

Sargassum Surge: How Seaweed is Transforming our Oceans and Coastal Ecosystems

Until recently, Sargassum –a free-floating seaweed–was distributed throughout the Sargasso Sea , the north Caribbean Sea, and the Gulf of Mexico. But in the space of a decade, this seaweed has, as one scientist remarks , “Gone from a nonfactor to the source of a terrible crisis.” Driven by climate change, anomalous North Atlantic Oscillation in 2009-2010 and a glut of anthropogenic pollutants, sargassum has proliferated. Seasonally recurrent mats as deep as 7m now bloom in the “Great Atlantic Sargassum Belt” (GASB), which covers areas of the Atlantic from West Africa to the Caribbean Sea and Gulf of Mexico. Every year, millions of tons wash up along the shores of more than 30 countries . Dr.

Great Lakes Research Center: Designing Targeted Monitoring Solutions

According to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration ( NOAA ), the Great Lakes have more miles of coastline than the contiguous Atlantic and Pacific coasts combined and contain 20 percent of the world's freshwater, making it a critical region to protect and conserve. Continuous monitoring and data-informed resource management are key components of managing waters in the region. Hayden Henderson, a research engineer with the Great Lakes Research Center (GLRC), designs and deploys monitoring platforms throughout the Great Lakes. With a background in environmental engineering, Henderson enjoyed the challenge of creating systems and making them work to obtain difficult, remote measurements.

Monitoring Meadowbrook Creek: Real-Time Data Collection in an Urban Creek

Meadowbrook Creek in Syracuse, New York, has been monitored by Syracuse University (SU) faculty and students for over a decade. Originally established by Dr. Laura Lautz in 2012, the early years of the program focused on collecting grab water samples for laboratory analysis and evaluating the impact of urban land use, human activities, and natural processes on water resources. Tao Wen , an Assistant Professor in SU’s Department of Earth and Environmental Sciences, took over the program in 2020 and upgraded the existing systems to include 4G modems that allowed for real-time data viewing. [caption id="attachment_39339" align="alignnone" width="940"] An overview of the Fellows Ave monitoring station along Meadowbrook Creek.
