Next-Generation Weather Stations: Campbell Scientific
We have selected Campbell Scientific’s ClimaVue 50 All-in-One Weather Sensor as the best choice for all new and replacement stations. Campbell offers professional, scientific-grade weather stations trusted by universities and other scientific organizations. For each weather station purchased, members must also purchase an Aspen 10 Cloud Data Logger.
The ClimaVue50 measures air temperature, relative humidity, vapor pressure, barometric pressure, wind (speed, gust, and direction), solar radiation (including ETO), precipitation, and lightening strike (count and distance).
The Aspen 10 Data Logger also supports other sensor types (including soil moisture sensors, water level sensors, and more), but additional hardware costs and subscription fees will apply and these additional sensors are not included in CGFG’s weather monitoring program.

- Arrange an on-site meeting with Lauri of Cascade Weather LLC to verify that the desired weather station location has adequate LTE signal.
- Grower installs a mounting pole for the weather station once Cascade Weather has approved the location. Must be a 2-inch diameter steel pole secured by concrete in the ground. Pole should be 6 feet tall from ground level.
- Cascade Weather will install the weather station. Typical lead time for installation is 1-2 weeks after the siting location has been established and the mounting pole is installed.
