Applications
Sensors supplied through MetSensor UK are used across these application areas. Each page covers the specific instruments and considerations for that use case.
Agriculture
Soil moisture, soil pH, leaf wetness and PAR sensors for crop growth monitoring and irrigation decisions, paired with compact weather sensors for on-field weather data.
Road weather and traffic
Road surface temperature, visibility and non-contact pavement condition sensors feeding road weather information systems (RWIS) for gritting and traffic management decisions.
Energy and PV plants
Solar PV plant weather stations, wind resource assessment lidar and transmission line monitoring stations for energy applications.
Air quality monitoring stations (AQMS)
Fixed and micro air quality stations measuring PM2.5, PM10, gases and noise for regulatory and community air quality monitoring networks.
Smart buildings and smart cities
Compact environmental sensors integrated into building management and smart street lighting systems via a shared RS485/Modbus interface.
UAV and drone-based monitoring
Acoustic drone detection, barometric altimeters and weather sensors for UAV operations, airspace monitoring and no-fly zone enforcement.
Water quality monitoring
Multi-parameter sondes and single-parameter probes for conductivity, turbidity, pH, dissolved oxygen and nutrient monitoring in surface water and groundwater.
