Maintaining Three Wireless Weather Stations in the Fields

The wireless weather station in a subsurface irrigation (SI) field. It measures photosynthetic active radiation (PAR), air relative humidity (RH) and temperature, rainfall and soil moisture and temperature at 5 cm, 15 cm and 30 cm below surface.

The wireless weather station in a free drainage (FD) field. It measures photosynthetic active radiation (PAR), air relative humidity (RH) and temperature, rainfall and soil moisture and temperature at 5 cm, 15 cm and 30 cm below surface or wind direction and speed.

The wireless weather station in a undrained (UD) field. It measures photosynthetic active radiation (PAR), air relative humidity (RH) and temperature, wind direction and speed, gust speed and soil moisture and temperature at 5 cm, 15 cm and 30 cm below surface.
