The eHives' locations and surroundings

The following article gives a brief overview about the eHives' locations and surroundings in tabular form. The position of the weather station and its appendant wind sensor are described in a few words. For both, the first value in the table denotes the mounting height. It was tried to uniformely position the weather station and its wind sensor two respectively five meters above ground. However, due to the local situation this was not possible everywhere.

Fig. 1: The eHives' locations. Honey-coloured points mark locations of currently active eHives, dark grey points mark previous locations.
