Every claim MEER makes begins with a measurement.
Calibrated instruments. Traceable pipelines. Independently reviewed analysis. Openly published data. This is how surface-cooling physics becomes evidence.
Physics only counts when it's measured — and reproduced.
Reflectivity, surface temperature, air temperature and comfort are physical quantities. Each has an accepted unit, an instrument, an uncertainty and a way to be checked. Everything on this website ultimately traces back to a number that was measured this way.
Grounded in radiative and thermodynamic quantities, not opinion.
Every value has an instrument, a calibration and a timestamp.
Protocols and code are published so others can repeat the work.
From a rooftop sensor to a peer-reviewed paper.
Data doesn't jump from an instrument to a publication. It travels through six deliberate stages, each with its own checks, controls and record.
Calibrated instruments deployed on real roofs, canopies and reservoirs.
1-minute logging to local edge storage, then periodic cloud sync.
Automated range, drift and outlier checks with human review.
Statistical models with propagated uncertainty and controls.
External scientists challenge methods, code and conclusions.
Datasets, code and reports released under open licenses.
The measurement ecosystem, in one view.
A representative MEER deployment captures the physical drivers (sun, wind), the surface response (roof temperature, infrared) and the human outcome (indoor comfort).
A traceable pipeline, packet by packet.
Every measurement is captured at 1-minute resolution, validated on the edge, synced to the cloud, then processed by an open pipeline with schema versioning and full provenance.
Quality shown, not claimed.
Instead of asserting rigour in prose, we illustrate the operations that produce it: calibration against traceable standards, repeated trials, error bars, and independent verification.
Every field sensor compared to a laboratory standard before deployment.
Independent trials overlaid to show agreement across sites and days.
Every reported figure carries a stated uncertainty (±σ).
Statistical envelopes make honest ranges obvious at a glance.
Charts that look like the ones in the paper.
Illustrative figures from a representative deployment. Every published dataset comes with the same style of chart, drawn from real recorded data.
What we publish, and how you can check us.
MEER treats measurement as a public good. We publish the data and the methods that produced it, and welcome scrutiny from anyone qualified to give it.
