Out of the Box & Ready to Go
The KestrelMet 6000 is a fully configured all-in-one solution–no guesswork required to choose the right sensor combination. Cellular connectivity and solar power with backup battery make this a completely standalone solution right out of the box.
Quick & Easy Set Up
You can expect a fast, frustration-free set up experience with the KestrelMet 6000 weather station up and running in under 20 minutes from start to finish. There’s no wiring of any sort required. All key weather sensors mount on one sturdy platform with a simple single mast attachment.
Low-Cost Data Plan
Typically, weather stations can come with a hefty premium for cellular data coverage, but the KestrelMet comes with first year FREE. No hidden activation fees. After the first year, KestrelMet offers a low-cost data plan option – pay only $50 for the whole year! The SIM card comes activated for seamless connection to kestrelmet.net.
Reliable Cellular Coverage
Get ultra-reliable weather information, even in remote locations. No need to worry about Wi-Fi reception. For professionals or anyone who doesn’t want to deal with interruptions from spotty internet connections, cellular offers the best solution for data reliability.
24-hour Aspirated Fan for Improved Accuracy
Solar radiation can cause measurement errors and reduce sensor accuracy. Shielding over the air temperature and relative humidity sensors and a 24-hour aspirated fan keep air moving constantly over the sensors. This results in a significant improvement in measurement accuracy versus passive-shielded weather stations with no aspiration fan.
Multiple Mounting Options
Choose between the Mono Mount Kit or the Tripod Mount Kit to best fit your needs. Both options offer quick install and a secure mounting system. The Mono Mount and can be used on a pitched or flat roof as well as a vertical surface such as a gable end. While the Tripod can be used on flat terrain, a flat roof, or on the ridge of a pitched roof.

Applied Research and Innovative Solutions: Creating CHNGES at Western Kentucky University
Long-standing environmental monitoring programs have the power to support a large number of research initiatives and policy changes—however, actually starting these networks can prove challenging. Not only is starting the program difficult, but keeping things operational for decades to come has also been challenging for environmental professionals hoping to make an impact with applied research. Jason Polk, Professor of Environmental Geoscience and Director of the Center for Human GeoEnvironmental Studies (CHNGES) at Western Kentucky University, is all too familiar with this process.

Combating Water Insecurity in Saskatchewan with Real-Time Data
The prairies of Saskatchewan can be described as one of the least water-secure parts of Canada, making water quality monitoring essential for informed resource management in a region already facing water insecurity. While natural physical properties worsen some of the poor water quality conditions in the region, others are connected to land use. Having grown up spending summers on the shores of Lake Huron, Helen Baulch, an associate professor at the School of Environment and Sustainability at the University of Saskatchewan , has always been dedicated to the protection of water resources. Looking back fondly at her childhood playing along the shore, Baulch also recalls the invasion of quagga mussels during her teenage years and watching the lake change as a result.

Seametrics Turbo Turbidity Logger: Boost your Turbidity Monitoring
The Seametrics Turbo Turbidity Logger is a self-cleaning turbidity sensor capable of internally logging over 260,000 data records. The sensor enables researchers, compliance officers, and contractors to monitor turbidity in various applications, from construction and dredging sites to wastewater effluent. Due to its narrow width, this device can be deployed in a range of areas, from small well spaces to rivers and streams. The stainless steel housing and built-in wiper allow the sensor to withstand long-term deployments and reduce the need for maintenance trips. The logger accurately records temperature and turbidity up to a depth of 50 meters.
