In January 2014, the Department of Homeland Security established the New York State Early Warning Weather Detection System. The centerpiece of the system is the New York State Mesonet, a network of 125 weather stations across the state, with at least one site in every county. Each site measures temperature, humidity, wind speed and direction, […]
A new study “Investigating the backscatter contrast anomaly in synthetic aperture radar (SAR) imagery of the dunes along the Israel–Egypt border” will appear in the International Journal of Applied Earth Observation and Geoinformation, Volume 46, April 2016, Pages 13-21. For the study, the researchers used the HydraProbe Field Portable (now called HydraGO C) extensively. Click here to

A new study published in the Soil Science Society of America Journal investigated the field performance of 5 soil moisture instruments in heavy clay soils. The HydraProbe outperformed TDR and capacitance-based soil sensors in terms of stability and accuracy in Manitoba’s agricultural soil. Much of soil in the Canadian Prairie farmland is vertisolic. A new

Stevens M2M remote communications products (Cell-Net and eTracker) offer lots of flexibility for getting your data from a remote site. And don’t forget that reconfiguring how and when data is sent can be done anytime, from any device using the web-based interface. Multiple ways to trigger a transmission: transmit data based on schedule, or triggered

GOES, for all it’s no-cost, reliable virtues, has some drawbacks. First, it’s a one-way transmission—there’s no way of sending any data to your station. This means there’s no way to reprogram a data logger or reboot a stuck data logger or purge a bubbler without (an unplanned) visit to the site. The Stevens SatCom GOES

If you haven’t considered these specs before, you should—and here’s why. Option to easily add 2-way telemetry. The reasons for having 2-way redundant telemetry are explained in the above article…a dual-telemetry system can always be cobbled together, but when the GOES transmitter is designed with this capability built-in, things are so much easier.

Here is an overview of three (3) different remote data collection scenarios using Stevens products that can increase the reliability of your networks, can work with virtually any existing equipment, and are super easy to install, configure and reconfigure (anytime, anywhere). The three (3) are GOES dual telemetry, Cell-Net, and eTracker. The power of the
