Meteorological and air quality information
The Links below will show you selected meteorological and air quality parameters, presented as time series diagrams. The charts shows hourly updated measurement values of the past 5 and the past 30 days. Measurements are operated since 1997 by the Micrometeorology group of the University of Bayreuth. In charge is Prof. Dr. Chr. Thomas (until 2014: Prof. Dr. T. Foken ). The presented time series will only give you an overview about the weather conditions of the past few days. The charts are produced automatically. There is no explicit data quality control. Please, do not retrieve original data from the graphs and/or distribute them in a printed form. In charge of maintenance and data control is Dr. W. Babel (scientific support, from 2003 up to 2013: Dr. J. Lüers) and J. Olesch (technical support, since 2003).
