Use-case first procurement

Start with the decision the sensor network must support.

Each use-case page follows the same tender-specification structure: decision, measurements, climate exposure, minimum requirements, acceptance testing, and scoring evidence.

Warning system

Flood warning

Specify rainfall, water level, telemetry latency, backup power, enclosure rating, mounting survivability, debris risk, and alert thresholds.

Open specification clauses

Urban climate / public health

Urban heat

Specify air temperature, humidity, radiation shielding, ventilation, siting, surface context, metadata, calibration, and comparability across neighborhoods.

Open specification clauses

Transport operations

Road weather

Specify pavement temperature, precipitation type, wind exposure, winterization, maintenance access, and integration with operations dashboards.

Meteorological network

Mesonet monitoring

Specify station spacing, representativeness, siting principles, metadata, QA/QC, and long-term calibration traceability.

Hydrology

Groundwater

Specify pressure transducer range, venting, drift, barometric compensation, cable sealing, well compatibility, and retrieval procedures.

Environmental monitoring

Water quality

Specify fouling control, cleaning intervals, calibration standards, sample matrix, temperature compensation, and acceptance testing.
