MICROCLIMATE India
Probe locations and information
We have installed multiple microclimate probes in the region of Western Ghats. As new projects come up in the near future, we shall plan to install elsewhere in the country too. Below you will find the pinned location of these probes on the map. You can click on that pin and find the information about that probe - location, history, data availability etc.
Some information about these probes: Officially called TMS-4 dataloggers (please see the schematic images of the probe in the side panel), it measures the air and soil temperature as well as soil moisture using three temperature sensors and one soil moisture sensor - every 10 minutes, with the potential capacity to run for ~ 10 years.
