On top of the measurement tower - source: TERENOAs part of the program, attendees visited the TERENO agricultural research site in Selhausen, the TERENO forest site in Wüstebach, and the atmospheric observation station at Forschungszentrum Jülich, operated by the German Weather Service (DWD). A highlight for many was the opportunity to access the top of the 120-meter measurement tower and gain first-hand insights into station operations and measurement technologies.
Visiting the measurement tower - source: TERENOTopics discussed this year ranged from implementing eddy covariance and biometeorological sensors to handling vegetation and soil sampling. Participants also exchanged experiences with emerging technologies, including nitrous oxide (N₂O) laser analyzers and advances in high-precision GPS systems that support sensor calibration and field measurements.
