Anemometers; meteorological packages; sea level recorders; current meters; optical backscatter sensors; CTD; precipitation samplers

Humber Observatory Data will be an ongoing part of the Humber Observatory, collating data from sites around the estuary into one easily accessible database. Data will be collected from a number of out-stations on an hourly basis and gathered into a home-station situated within the Humber Observatory at the School of Geography and Earth Resources (SGER), The University of Hull. These data will then be used to create daily, monthly and annual digests of information from each out-station. It is expected that the tidal data set will comprise tidal gauge data from eight Associated British Ports sites around the Humber. The meteorological data will be from one station situated at the SGER, The University of Hull. The estuarine data will be collected from up to five stations across the Humber.
