2021 Campbell DIGITAL Workshop

Defensible Data, Network Management, and New Technologies for Environmental Observation Networks

This Campbell Scientific-hosted workshop is for scientists and professionals engaged in environmental observation network operation. This virtual workshop brings together unique perspectives of operators from a range of backgrounds, including research, meteorology, hydrology, road weather, aviation weather, and others in an exchange of ideas around observation network and data management. Topics will focus on key challenges and opportunities facing network operators today, including:

  • Fit-for-purpose network design
  • Ensuring defensible data for the moments when data matter most
  • Emerging observation network applications and technology

Please join us for:

  • Keynotes and virtual presentations by professionals from the public sector and private industry
  • Virtually guided training on new tools and technology for observation network operation based on the CR1000X datalogger, ClimaVUE™50 digital weather sensor, and an exclusive preview of the new Campbell CLOUD™ data visualization and network management platform
  • Networking opportunities with peers from a wide range of backgrounds
