Validating Landslide Reports in The Field

Weather plays a crucial role in our lives, from planning outdoor activities to triggering landslides. Weather stations are an important element of the ACCOMPLISH project, which focuses on increasing the reporting of coastal landslides in Ireland. These weather monitoring stations provide valuable data that can contribute to understanding and mitigating the risks associated with coastal landslides. In this blog, we will explore the functions of weather stations and discuss why they are indispensable in a project like Accomplish. What are Weather Stations? Weather stations are devices or network instruments designed to measure and record atmospheric conditions without the intervention of humans. These stations collect data on various weather parameters, including temperature, humidity, air pressure, wind speed and direction, precipitation, and more (Susmitha and Sowmyabala, 2014). The ACCOMPLISH Project currently has nine weather stations installed throughout Wexford, Wicklow and Dublin that collect data on an hourly basis. All of the weather stations are located on volunteer property and will be left in place once the pilot monitoring period is completed.
