Environmental and Climate

Urban areas face complex environmental challenges that impact public health, infrastructure, and sustainability. With a network of advanced environmental sensors, cities and municipalities can monitor and respond to real-time conditions, supporting smarter urban management and climate resilience.

Sensing Metrics



Key Objectives for Environmental and Climate Monitoring in Cities and Municipalities 

Monitoring Urban Weather Conditions in Real Time
Sensors for air temperature, barometric pressure, wind speed, wind direction, and solar radiation help track microclimates within urban zones, supporting localized weather forecasting and emergency response planning.

Rainfall and Stormwater Management
Tripping bucket rain gauges and precipitation sensors provide accurate data for stormwater modeling, flood prevention, and water infrastructure design in response to heavy rainfall events.

Air Quality Surveillance and Public Health Protection
Particulate matter sensors monitor pollution levels (e.g., PM2.5, PM10), supporting early warnings and air quality alerts to protect residents — particularly vulnerable populations — from respiratory risks.

Understanding Urban Heat Island Effects
Air and surface temperature data, along with solar radiation measurements, help assess the intensity of urban heat islands, enabling targeted cooling strategies like green roofs and shaded infrastructure.

Tracking Humidity and Vapor Pressure for Comfort and Health
Humidity and vapor pressure sensors contribute to assessing thermal comfort levels and forecasting conditions that may exacerbate health issues, mold growth, or heat stress.

Lightning and Storm Hazard Monitoring
Lightning strike count and average distance sensors help assess storm severity and provide early warnings to improve safety and reduce damage to infrastructure and public spaces.

High-Resolution Wind Analysis for Urban Safety
Sensors measuring horizontal wind speed, wind gusts, and tilt help detect dangerous wind conditions affecting construction zones, tall buildings, public events, and tree management.

Enhancing Climate Policy and Environmental Reporting
Long-term sensor data supports evidence-based policymaking for climate adaptation, sustainability goals, and environmental performance reporting at local, national, or EU levels.

Supporting Smart City Infrastructure
Weather stations and integrated environmental sensors contribute to data platforms for traffic control, energy optimization, and public safety, forming the backbone of smart urban ecosystems.

Community Engagement and Transparency
Public access to environmental data fosters awareness, encourages behavioral change, and builds trust in municipal climate action and sustainability initiatives.
