Regular monitoring of temperature, humidity, rainfall, wind patterns and other environmental conditions, is required not only in synoptic and climatological stations for general weather forecasting but also for the successful operation of projects and activities in many parts of the world.
 For example, accurate data on local conditions is needed in irrigation control, in agriculture and forestry, in the chemical and other industries, in the leisure and tourist industries, environmental health and safety and other specific areas.
The form and content of the data required will naturally vary according to the nature of the activity involved and the geographic location. Versatility in the range and application of meteorological equipment available is important, so that complete weather stations can be planned to suit individual circumstances. Munro have many years of experience in the manufacture and supply of all instruments and accessories necessary for equipping such installations, with equipment built to British Meteorological Office specifications wherever relevant.
Synoptic and climatological stations have to be established on level ground, well away from trees, buildings or other obstructions and are enclosed by open fencing to exclude unauthorised persons. The data required will depend on individual station needs but will involve measurements of, at least, several of the following environmental phenomena for which Munro can supply all necessary instruments. |
