The Met Pole and its data presentation software have been developed to be utilized by farmers. The pole is equipped with sensors for collection of the following weather data: wind velocity 2 m above the ground; surface wetness 2 m above the ground; global radiation 2 m above the ground; air temperature and air humidity (RH) 1.5 and 0.2 m above the ground; soil temperature and soil water content, at 0.1 and 0.3 m depth. The data is transmitted by radio to a receiver at the farm and presented by the PC‐software. All data can be transferred to files in ASCII format and used in any other software program for future use in computerized monitoring and forecasting systems.
