Short summary

Climate change studies are growing and related experiments are getting bigger and more complex. They are often conducted in remote areas where communications are limited. In cases like that the data can be transferred via a satellite connection, but these types of connections are slow. We found that by using the little known possibilities of LoggerNet software (the most popular data logger software in environmental science) it is possible to transfer quite a large amount of data.
