hydrometPi seeks to enable easier measurement and monitoring of hydrology and meteorology variables to support better research and management of our water resources. As such, it sets out to not only develop new customized systems that use cost-efficient sensor packages but to also interface with existing sensors to enable easy integration into existing measurement systems, giving the user ultimate utility.
There are just some of the current and potential applications for hydrometPi:
Monitoring of snowpack, river, and/or lake heights
Low-power cost-efficient and compact weather stations
Customizable physical process measurement
Coming soon!
Initial development of hydrometPi was by CSSL Director, Andrew Schwartz, Research Scientist, Megan Mason, and Research Associate, Marianne Cowherd, while working on various hydrometeorological research and engineering projects. However, we aim to grow the hydrometPi community well beyond the walls of the Snow Lab perched atop Donner Pass in the Sierra Nevada of California. As such, we're always looking for interested folks to help us develop projects, code, and tutorials that can help the hydrometeorological community. We would love to add your name and material to this site!
