The Pameseb network has been providing meteorological data for the agricultural sector for over 20 years. This data can be accessed on the agromet.be platform and used to produce agricultural warnings (potato late blight and wheat septoria) and feed free-access agricultural decision-support tools.
As part of a cooperation partnership between CRA-W and OWSF (Observatoire Wallon de la Santé des Forêts - Walloon Observatory for Forest Health), it was decided to extend the Pameseb network to the forest environment, starting with the installation of two meteorological stations in 2025. These stations will be set up in clearings in the heart of Walloon forests: one in the Bertrix municipality, the other in the Anlier forest.
The aim of this cooperation partnership is to provide meteorological data to forestry professionals to help them monitor plantations and diseases, the practicability of the environment and the development of forestry decision support tools (ADO), etc.
The data measured initially will include air temperature and humidity, wind speed and direction, sunshine, leaf wetness, precipitation and sub-leaf and soil temperature.
See you in 2025 on the agromet.be platform for the installation of these new stations, which could be the starting point for a more extensive forestry network in the future.
