Quality observations of Mars from the REMS-weather station

With the help of the REMS (Rover Environmental Monitoring Station) weather station on board the Mars Science Laboratory (Curiosity), the UV radiation, pressure, temperature, relative humidity, wind daily and seasonal variations in Mars' Gale crater are measured. The REMS' pressure and humidity measuring devices are provided by the Finnish Meteorological Institute and are based on the Finnish Vaisala technology.
