Sensors-related Activities of the Methods Board

The Sensors workgroup focuses on real-time data collection and denser time-series data using technology as surrogates for costly analyses. Collaborating with various organizations across different regions, the group aims to improve data comparability and quality assurance in monitoring programs. By leveraging expertise and resources, they develop guidance matrices, site selection guides, and glossaries to standardize field monitoring practices.
