First installation for the @NERCScience funded @PlymUni netCTF project, deploying a newly developed system at the @BIForUoB FACE field site. Monitoring forest canopy temperatures with thermal IR and RGB cameras. An impressive facility even if it is a long way from the sea!
Blue skies with amazing red and turquoise seas for the first sunny @pu_cprg @PlymUniResearch equipment service visit at #Dawlish for the @NERCscience #CreamT project. @Wirewall_NOC checked too!
The @wirewall_NOC CreamT installation continues today in less favourable conditions. Just keeping an eye on them from the warm & dry office via the @pu_cprg @pu_cmar @plymuniresearch camera system :) Not just train spotting...
Busy @pu_cprg @pu_cmar day installing the camera, laser scanner and met station systems at Dawlish for the CreamT project. The @wirewall_NOC installation is also well under way. @plymuniresearch @MarineSciPlym @southwestrrp

First @pu_cprg large UK field trip of the year on St. Martin's (Isles of Scilly). Careful placement of our instruments in the amazing sea grass meadows surrounded by an array of extra sensors throughout the bay
