EML History
Environmental Measurements Limited (EML) was founded in 1985, following the development of an innovative rain gauge in the early 1980s featuring a distinctive aerodynamic design. This led to the launch of our first product, the ARG100. Production of the ARG100 ended in 2019, making way for its successor, the ARG314, which incorporates modern manufacturing methods and offers a range of calibration options.
Over the past four decades, the company has experienced steady growth, expanding its product range to supply a comprehensive range of meteorological sensors, including wind sensors, temperature and humidity sensors and shields, and weather radars.
In 2003, EML introduced the SBS rain gauge, a product that set new industry benchmarks for performance across all rainfall intensities, benefiting from its aerodynamic shape, it is now widely used by meteorological and environmental authorities around the world.
In 2016, the Kalyx rain gauge was launched, offering a highly accurate yet cost-effective solution that has become particularly well regarded within the agricultural industry in the UK, Europe and worldwide.
Today, EML is a trusted and respected provider of environmental monitoring solutions, specialising in rain gauges, hydro-meteorological (hydro-met) systems, weather radars, and sensors for use in building management systems (BMS). We offer a complete service, including the design, manufacture, installation, and maintenance of high-precision instruments and bespoke systems. These support a wide range of applications, from resource management and flood monitoring to agriculture, environmental research, power plants, and nuclear facilities.
Our directors and senior staff bring together more than 150 years of combined experience, providing expert knowledge, strategic insight, and a strong commitment to delivering outstanding results for clients of all sizes.
EML is a friendly, reliable Hydro-Met team you can depend on to get the job done.
Our commitment to ongoing innovation remains strong, with exciting new products in development—watch this space.

Mark's background
Mark joined EML in 1996 after graduating from the University of Northumbria at Newcastle with a BSc (Hons) in Optoelectronic Engineering. In 2008 Mark graduated with an MSc with Distinction in Engineering and Technology after carrying out part-time study. He has also held a position on the WMO (World Meteorological Office) CIMO Expert Team as well as Newsletter Editor for the Royal Met Society special interest group. (More Details). Mark has been involved in a multitude of projects over the last 20+ years. Successfully managing and delivering a broad base of Hydro-Met applications. Mark enjoys cycling, football, working on his allotment and playing golf when his children and wife will let him. |
Enda's background
Professor O’Connell has contributed extensively to the international literature in the areas of stochastic rainfall modelling, distributed physically-based modelling of river basins, climate change impact assessment, flood risk estimation, and water resources management. In the groundwater field, he has worked on the design of groundwater monitoring networks, spatial estimation/mapping of hydrogeological properties, and on the geostatistical simulation of subsurface media properties. He has extensive experience of managing a wide range of research and consulting projects. At Newcastle University, Enda has built up the Water Resource Systems Research Laboratory into one of the largest and most successful university research centres in the UK, with a highly regarded international reputation. |
Terry's background
Terry has been with EML from the early days in Oxford in 1985. He moved to the north east of England in 1989, when the company moved to Newcastle Upon Tyne. Terry has a mechanical engineering background and is responsible for keeping the current range of products up to standard. Terry is also highly involved with the development and testing of new products. Terry’s interests away from the EML offices are football, cricket, and F1 motor sports. However, his main hobby is carp fishing; this takes up most if not all of his holidays as the lake he fishes is located in the Champagne region of France. |
