Guidance for accessing 3D-PAWS data through CHORDS and Grafana, including data flow, verification, and basic troubleshooting.
3D-PAWS stations transmit environmental data through cloud services for viewing, analysis, and integration into observation systems.
Sensors → Data Logger → Network → CHORDS → Grafana
CHORDS
Storage and access
Time-series data, API endpoints, external integration
Grafana
Visualization
Real-time dashboards, historical analysis, customizable views
verify data is being received
check timestamps and update frequency
review sensor values against expected ranges
confirm consistent data updates
Compare observations to expected conditions:
Temperature
Within local diurnal range
Pressure
Consistent with nearby stations
Rainfall
Matches observed precipitation events
Wind
Reasonable speeds and directions
→ See Site Selection for siting-related issues.
If data is missing or incorrect:
check data logger connectivity
verify power system (battery and solar)
inspect sensor connections
confirm configuration settings
→ See Troubleshooting for detailed guidance.
Accessing data allows you to verify system performance and ensure observations are accurate and usable for analysis.
