## Description

The University of Sheffield Urban Flows Observatory, led by the Departments of Civil and Structural and Automatic Control and Systems Engineering, is looking to create a network of weather stations around the city of Sheffield\. These will operate for an initial period of 5 years\. The purpose is to provide measurements to support data gathered from a network of air quality sensors as well as information regarding solar irradiance and inform research regarding the Urban Heat Island effect\. These sensors will be deployed concurrently but mainly at locations different to the weather stations\. The proposed unit for the meteorological observations should be self-contained and with limited maintenance requirements, using radar-based precipitation measurement\. The locations for the stations will be primarily schools within the area of Sheffield city and in most cases mains power and network connectivity \(Ethernet wired or wireless\) will be available\. Additional information: All tender documentation can be obtained via the In-tend site, which bidders should also use to submit queries & tender returns\.
