What I like about the measurement technique:
that we get detailed insights into many climate-dependent applications with this technology – whether in pharmaceutical production, setting up a meteorological observation network in Siberia or in the control of photovoltaic systems and wind turbines for renewable energy. I also like to understand how an airport or a high speed train is controlled in extreme weather situations.
