Environmental Monitoring

I operate some sensors across Malta to monitor various atmospheric and environmental parameters, including weather conditions, air quality, and night sky brightness.

Approximate coordinates of monitoring station: 35.844°N, 14.469°E

Weather Monitoring

Instrument: Froggit WH3000

Clouds & Night Sky Birghtness

Instrument: TESS-W

The sensor is located in a village/urban environment. NSB values below 18 mag arcsec⁻² correspond to Bortle scale classes 8–9, characteristic of city or inner-city skies. Variations in NSB measurements are strongly influenced by cloud cover and moonlight.

Air Quality

Instrument: SDS011
