Part 2: to upgrade dataloggers across the LTMN network to those AWS that need upgrading Part 3: to assess and provide remote downloading capability Part 4: to provide information on real time data management, trend analysis capability options 1.1 Part 1 AWS Maintenance The AWS sensors and data loggers are to be calibrated, serviced and routinely maintained to ensure data collected is reliable, secure and of known quality, so that any conclusions drawn in analytical projects is scientifically robust. Currently 16 AWS stations are installed across the Network. All sites are National Nature Reserves (NNRs) managed by Natural England (apart from Burnham Beeches and Epping Forest which is managed by the City of London Corporation). The other 3 sites North Solent, Kielderhead and Malham Tarn are all Met Office Stations. For each site the company who originally installed each AWS, the data logger model, history and priority level of maintenance visits are listed in Table 1. The priority level is to indicate the urgency for which an AWS is in need of a maintenance visit and should inform the development of a prioritised maintenance programme.

A series of reports were completed containing a site survey report for each site, and a summary with recommendations for future activity. Actions from the Met Office Check Visits should inform the development of a maintenance programme and a schedule of prioritised visits. The reports and a summary table of results of these visits will be provided to the successful suppliers indicating the priority level for each site and should be used to inform the schedule (also see table 1). The supplier should also advise on the frequency of repeat maintenance visits for each AWS over the long term and individual sensors i.e. in terms of need to clean particular sensors susceptible to dirt and litter affecting the accuracy of data. A short guidance note with visual aids should be produced on how these simple maintenance tasks can be carried out targeted at reserve managers for easy understanding. A costed breakdown for each element, unit cost per site and overall cost for Lot 1 or Lot 2 or both Lots as explained in Section 7.
