Welcome to the homepage of the meteorological measurement station at the University of the Federal Armed Forces Munich

One of the most important tasks of hydrology is the research of  the water cycle as a base to investigate the water resources (i.e. useable gound and surface water).
The knowledge of water balance components (rainfall, discharge, evaporation) is an important requirement for hydrological forecasts (i.e. water level forecasts, natural replenishment), analysis of evaporation regimes (flood and low water) and the cultivation of water resources.

Measurements are necessary for these tasks.

The meteorological measurement station captures the net radiance as a balance of incident and emitted energy fluxes (short wave solar and long wave terrestrial radiance), measures the ground heat flow and the flow of sensible heat (energy cycle).
Furthermore the rainfall, the potential evaporation and the change of the ground humidity reservoir is registrated (water cycle).
By balancing the water balance and energy budget components, the current evaporation can be investigated.
Existing evaporation models are checked and amplifid with these data.

The collected data can be demanded.

The description of the measured data and the online visualisation of the meteorological station is provided on an external webpage in German (Klimastation Neubiberg).
