The AFC v 1.0 is being field tested at the Whale Point meteorological station at Big Creek Reserve. This device senses environmental conditions including visibility with a MiniOFS to detect fog events, open the doors to the chamber, and turn on the fan which pulls fog across the strands.

Amazing view from the Whale Point Cabin and meteorological state at the Landells-Hill Big Creek Reserve. Filmmaker Kyle Baker and team are working on a film called Fog Eaters and getting footage of our research team installing our equipment.

The Fog Squad has set up 2 large fog collectors at the UCSC Farm for the 2023 fog season

Phil Grote is a student working on the fog harvesting project funded by the UCSC CarbonFund.

We are getting real-time fog collection data. This figure shows the mm of water collected over the past week. We had 3 fog events followed by a rain event. All this water is being collected and used to water our plants.
