Resources
Explore real-time environmental data from SAEON’s weather and eddy covariance stations across South Africa through the Terrestrial Observations Monitor. The platform collects and stores raw, unprocessed data directly from the stations.
At a growing number of EFTEON sites, a collection of fixed point photographs is accumulating. Photographs are taken facing towards the eddy covariance towers and reveal seaonal and disturbance dynamics.

Look at live SAEON and EFTEON weather station data across South Africa!
