HyQuest Solutions’ Field Calibration Device FCD checks rain gauges in the field for accuracy. The portable lightweight device effectively enables field technicians to run functional tests and verifications of any rain gauge in the field. The use of FCD saves time and money, because the tipping bucket rain gauges can remain fixed in their location without the need for dismantling and transport and with very short downtimes for calibration only.
FCD checks whether a rain gauge is providing accurate readings: It discharges a certain volume of water into the rain gauge collector. Then, the number of tips has to be counted and checked with the calibration specifications.

Lufft WS800: Introducing A Station that Can Weather the Storm
The Lufft WS800 Multi-Parameter Weather Station measures a full suite of atmospheric parameters that provides all-encompassing data on the local environment, including a one-of-a-kind lightning detector. This compact, cost-effective sensor simultaneously measures air temperature, humidity, pressure, precipitation, solar radiation, lightning, and wind with an integrated electronic compass. An internal fan and heater reduce the effects of external influences for accurate measurements during long-term deployments. The sensor can be easily mounted on a 2-inch diameter pipe above any local obstructions with the included bracket mount, U-bolts, and 10-meter cable. Settings for the unit can be adjusted using the latest UMB-ConfigTool.

Small-Scale Monitoring for Large-Scale Impacts: Building Storm Resilience in the Newfound Lake Region
Monitoring Newfound Lake's tributaries allows the NLRA to better understand how these systems are changing and helps to quantify the impact that development is having on water quality in Newfound Lake. (Credit: NLRA) As many resource managers and conservation groups can attest, their work serves both the environment and the surrounding communities. Dynamic and healthy ecosystems can become center points for towns, cities, and entire regions—such is the case in the Newfound Lake Region, located in central New Hampshire. The Newfound Lake Region Association (NLRA) knows just how critical the preservation of the lake and surrounding watershed is for all members of the region.

Going, Going, Gone: Endangered Species Recovery and Conservation
Across the planet, biodiversity and natural habitats are declining dramatically. Countless species of flora and fauna around the world are being listed as either threatened, endangered, or extinct. According to a 2019 UN Study , around one million species are already at risk of extinction. Unless action is taken to reduce the causes of biodiversity loss, many of these species could disappear within the next few decades. Invasive species, habitat destruction, pollution, and other environmental stressors are all major causes of biodiversity decline. While high biodiversity is synonymous with places like the Amazon Rainforest and the Great Barrier Reef, it can also be found locally.
