MEASURE THE SOIL-PLANT-ATMOSPHERE CONTINUUM
Just released: TEROS 12
The TEROS 12 is now our unanimous recommendation for all applications.
ATMOS 41
Most weather stations are cluttered, complicated, and frustrating to install and maintain. Wiring and programming can be a nightmare, and finding room to mount everything can be a challenge.
METER SUPPORTS TAHMO
Trans-African Hydro-Meteorological Observatory (TAHMO) is a not-for-profit organization. TAHMO makes high-quality data freely available to governments, scientists and farmers in real time.

Which soil sensor is perfect for you?
When choosing between METER’s soil sensors, the first thing to know is that all METER soil sensors have the same research-grade accuracy with minimum sensitivity to salts (10 dS/m bulk EC), …
TDR vs. CAPACITANCE
When considering which soil water content sensor will work best for any application, it’s easy to overlook the obvious question: what is being measured?
Soil moisture sensors—how many do you need?
The number of soil moisture sensors installed at a research site can make the difference between proving a hypothesis or missing it entirely.

HYPROP® IMPROVED
As soil scientists who have made hundreds of moisture release curves, we wanted an instrument that delivered greater accuracy. And we demanded an instrument that was automated. The Hyprop 2 takes only days vs. months to generate a soil water characteristic curve in the wet range, and it does this automatically.
RELATIVE HUMIDITY IN SOIL
Many people assume the soil is dry when it feels dry to the touch. This false assumption can lead to poor decisions such as storing steel drums of toxic waste in a desert soil.
WATER POTENTIAL IN THE LAB
As world experts in water potential and soil suction, it wasn’t enough to engineer an instrument that delivered consistent accuracy.
SATURATED HYDRAULIC CONDUCTIVITY
The KSAT is the only automated setup for taking saturated hydraulic conductivity measurements in the lab. It’s an instrument that uses both the falling and constant head methods.
