The meteorological monitoring programme in Kobbefjord was set up in May 2007 and consists of two identical meteorological stations. The two stations are placed next to each other. The double station improves the overall quality of data and ensures the continuity of measurements.
Because of problems with the stations no radiation data are available before 22 October and for the other parameters the only months with full data coverage is August and September. The mean air temperature for August and September are 9.8 °C and 3.2 °C. The relative humidity is generally higher and more stable during August than in the beginning of the fall. In September the dominant wind direction shifts from WSW to NE and periods with strong winds occur more often than in August.
In 2007 hydrological measurements have been carried out in four rivers in Kobbefjord area. Two hydrometric stations and two stations only with measurements of water level have been established.
The hydrometric station, H1, monitoring the main river in Kobbefjord, with a drainage basin of 31 km2, has been running from 20 June to 22 October 2006 and from 8 March 2007 and onwards. The total calculated discharge during 20 June to 22 October 2006 was 21 million m3. From 8 March 2007 and until data was collected 26 September 2007, 35 million m3 of water have passed the gauging station.
