NTUCE-CompHydroMet-Lab

This repository is part of the Extreme Rainfall Monitoring Network (ERMN) campaign. We open source all the developments in ERMN, including programmes that collect different gauge data and store them in influxdb (see gauges folder). You can also find API and example scirpts to acquire data (see examples folder).
All gauges are installed on the roof top of the Civil Engineering Research Building (CERB) in National Taiwan University.

How to access data from our server.

Please refer to the examples folder. In this Influxdb official tutorial, there is a complete tutorial showing how to query data from influxdb.
