sensor. Temperature/humidity sensor, rain gauge and evaporation sensors are
located at various locations around the screen.

Parameters: air temperature, relative humidity, wind speed and direction,
precipitation, sea surface temperature, solar radiation (pyranometer), air
pressure, soil moisture, runoff, potential evapotranspiration, wet/dry season
