The data collected from stations like this one can provide an overall figure on changes in the climate and also can have important effects on agriculture. Their interest was immediately appreciated internationally. For example, the stations are included in the project of Share International CEOP (Co-ordinated Enhanced Obervation Period) World Meteorological Organization (WMO), which periodically collects data on the climate. This instrument is measuring the following parameters: - water content of soils.

This device contains all its electronics in a tube with an external diameter of 22 mm. The sensor can be installed permanently in the soil and connected to a data logger for long-term, automated water-content measurements. The sensor allows measurements from 3 cm depth to several meters. This is possible due to the addition of simple leaf tubes. A small hole is made with an auger to the desired depth of measurement, and the sensor is installed in the hole. The sensor has a low consumption and depending on the power source can be in continuous use during several weeks without intervention. The probe also measures the soil temperature, for use in sensor temperature-compensation and as a stand-alone soil-temperature measurement. No conditions apply
