1. Introduction
The Balaton Uplands National Park Directorate has not owned any instruments to obtain
meteorological data relevant for the designated investigation areas (Nyirádi Sárálló, Sásdi meadow
and fens around Tapolca and Lesencetomaj). The Hungarian Meteorological Service has been
operating stations in Keszthely (precipitation and temperature) and in Sümeg (only precipitation)
since 1901. In the frame of the project two meteorological stations were established; in the near of
Nyirád, and at Szentbékkálla, both of them are approximately two kilometre far from designated the
investigated area. The supplier of the meteorological stations was the BOREAS ltd.

Preparation
Szentbékkálla
Preparation - Nyirád
Short description
System-6 Environmental Station with the following sensors:
- BHP-06 temperature, humidity and air pressure;
- BES-06 amount of precipitation;
- BWS-06 wind direction and –speed.
BCULite-S6 with datalogger, with local power-supply, free S6ReadStation software, 5 m meteorological coloumn.
Sensor for the measurement of global radiation (piranometer): it
measures the strenght of radiation in W/m2. It also gives the number
of sunny seconds, the threshold can be programmed. The extended
treshold is 2000W/m2.
GSM adapter joint to the station, configured + antenna (in case of
Nyirád)
Wifi module 2,4 GHz freuency, communication 802.11b/g/n (in case of
Szentbékkálla)
- Informatical development, development of electric supply and holding
structure at the location of the station.
Concrete base and holding stucture, soil cable and its laying,
constuction of a receiver box and establishment of a separate
electricity consumption meter
Advantages of using System-6 stations:
- there is no need for local computer and an operator for the collection of data and their
processing, because they directly get onto the central server of the BOREAS Ltd. via wifi or
GPRS adapter.
- Continuous operation (and/or quick repair) of the stations are guaranteed, because the
stations automatically get into the long-distance control system of the BOREAS Ltd. There is
a possibility for sending alarm emails to any email address.
- It is possible to forward the measured data regularly, automatically to any email address in
Excel or in other format (free service).

2. Placement and Location
2.1. Szentbékkálla
In case of the Sásdi meadow investigation area, relevant regional meteorological data are served by
the station established in the village of Szentbékkálla. Its coodinates (Hungarian EOV): 537,327.90;
172,844.57.
This project is implemented through the CENTRAL
EUROPE Programme co-financed by the ERDF
[5]
The red point shows the location of the meteorological station.
It is standing on the secured property of Sárvári Ltd. It is
approximately 2 km far from the middle of the investigation
area. The data are forwarded to the server of BOREAS Kft. via
wifi connection. We agreed for ensuring placement for out
station the data can be shown also in the homepage of the
village of Szentbékkálla.
Regular check of the precipitation collector is done by the staff
of the Ltd.
[6]
2.2. Nyirád
In case of Nyirád, the safest placement of the meteorological station close to the investigation area
could be ensured in the station area of the No. 37 of North-Transdanubian Drinking Water-Supply
Service. Hungarian EOV coordinates: 526,540.45; 184,633.23.

3. Display of data
Data can be read from the following website:
http://met.boreas.hu/agrar/
név (user name): cservenka
jelszó (password): judit
In the upper left corner can the “Mérőrendszerek” word seen, that means “Measuring systems”. If
you click on it, the name of the Balaton Uplands National Park (“Balaton-felvidéki Nemzeti Park”)
appears. With another click on this, the names of the two installed station can be seen
(“Szentbékkálla” and “Nyirád” – Kunszentmárton does not belong here, it is just a reference station
that has been operating since several years).
The opening screen shows the table of actual state (“Aktuális állapot tablója”), where the wind
direction and -speed, the humidity percentage, the actual temperature, the amount of precipitation
on the actual day, and the day before, and the amount of monthly precipitation in mm can be seen.
The last two bars show the state of power supply and electric field intensity.
Detailed data and diagrams can be obtained under “Elemi mérések” (elemental measurements) and
“Napi statisztikák” (daily statistics). The duration of period interested can be set at the top of the
table. The stations have been operating from August 15, 2012.
Under “Elemi mérések” (elemental measurements) we can get information about basic data, wind,
air pressure, global radiation and operation.
Under “Napi statisztikák” (daily statistics) data can be obtained at different timescale for air
temperature, relative humidity, air pressure, amount of precipitation, duration of sunny seconds
(hours), global radiation, wind, positive sum of heat, active sum of heat, effective sum of heat,
atmospheric aridity and for potential evaporation.

E.g. the above diagram shows the minimum (blue line), maximum (red line) and average (green line)
daily temperatures at Szentbékkálla from the time of installation August 15, 2012.
The above diagram shows e.g. the amount of precipitation from the time of instalment at

Nyirád. The total amount of precipitation is also designated at the top part of the diagram (sum
amount of precipitation – “csapadék halmozott összeg”).
The same diagram for Szentbékkálla can be seen above.
