## Description

The purpose of this project is to provide meteorological data for long term biodiversity monitoring sites in England via the management of an existing weather monitoring network \(originally run for the last 4 years by the Met Office through an MoA\)\. This activity aims to improve our ability to monitor climate change and its impacts on biodiversity\. NE wants to have a better understanding of how ecosystems are responding to changing climate, to what extent these changes vary across the country and what mechanisms underlie these changes\. This information will help us better model, predict and mitigate the impacts of climate change on ecosystems and on ecosystem services\.
