The support of the climatic network requires a lot of work and patience. Regularly the stations must be tested
on their technical perfectness. For this the data are examined and proved with the help of a laptop over telemetry.
The mechanical registering measuring instruments are always cleaned, adjusted and calibrated with an
aspiration psychrometer according to ASSMANN. The close vicinity of every station is kept open all the time. That
means, that approx. every 4 weeks the lawn is cut with a lawn-mower. Excessive branches of trees are cut.
would be over-rampantly grown of weeds already after some time. To maintain the grass soil in the vegetation phase
every 4 weeks gemaeht around the location conditions always directly.
We'd like to present some pictures of our maintenance activities here right now.
