Automatic Weather Stations [Mar 2012]
Automatic Weather Stations (AWS) are becoming increasingly popular in many applications owing to their becoming more affordable, reliable, having improved data logging capabilities and through the growth in personal computing bringing sophisticated data manipulation and archiving within the reach of all.
Atmospheric Humidity
Water vapour is part of the hydrological cycle, and is a key agent in both weather and climate. Humidity affects many properties of air and of materials in contact with air. It’s no wonder, then, that we want to measure and understand it.
Methods of Soil Analysis - A summary of some of the many methods of soil analysis
Soils are an extremely complex matrix to analyse, particularly on contaminated sites - the actual soil matrix can vary from a sand (silica) to limestone (calcium carbonate) to clay (complexed minerals), or a mixture of many. In addition to this, the range of contaminants varies from fairly innocuous construction materials to toxic gasworks waste to highly toxic pharmaceutical waste/ mercury/explosives, etc.
Temperature: Some Fundamental Notions
This article is not concerned with global warming but with temperature per se and the statement quoted is by way of introduction to the topic of temperature as a thermodynamic quantity.

Continuous Noise Monitoring
The increasing awareness of the public of environmental issues such as CO2 emissions, carbon footprints and waste recycling has brought the issue of environmental noise to the fore. Many of the demands of modern society result in the creation of noise sources such as larger airports, additional power stations and higher road traffic levels.
How Certain is Your Data?
The awareness of uncertainty associated with laboratory data from contaminated sites has increased significantly in recent years, in the UK partly due to the implementation of the MCERTS standard by the Environment Agency for laboratories involved with testing soil samples, and partly due to general improvements of standards/legislation/controls within the industry itself, e.g. implementation of SiLC (Specialist in Land Contamination) qualifications. Awareness across Europe as a whole is much higher than in the early 1990s, when most countries were implementing Environmental Protection policies of one kind or another.
