Campbell Scientific Honoured with Global Award for Best Weather Observation Technology

Campbell Scientific received the prestigious Varysian Hydrometeorological Award for Best Weather Observation Technology, honoring its innovation and lasting impact on worldwide climate resilience.

Global Recognition for Hydrometeorological Excellence

On October 13, 2025, the same Utah-based company that provided measurement instrumentation for both Mount Everest and Aconcagua, Campbell Scientific, accepted a prestigious, globally recognized award representing hydrometeorological measurement excellence: the Varysian Hydrometeorological Award for the Best Weather Observation Technology. The inaugural Varysian awards ceremony, hosted as a precursor to the Measurement Technology World Exposition in Vienna, Austria, was well attended by hydrometeorological measurement technology companies located around the world.

Thomas Copping, Varysian Network CEO, said of the award and the Varysian Network, “Varysian is a global platform that connects national meteorological and hydrological services within the private sector, development partners, and donors to accelerate practical climate solutions. Through our events, research, and partnership work, we focus on enabling real implementation in climate resilience, early warning systems, and global hydrometeorological capacity.” He continued, “The Global Hydromet Excellence Awards were created to celebrate leadership and collaboration in this mission, and Campbell Scientific’s recognition highlights the importance of uniting institutions to build a safer and more climate-resilient world.”

Presented for their monumental efforts in Rwanda for the world’s first Global Basic Observing Networks (GBON), this award reflects Campbell Scientific’s continued dedication to engineering instrumentation for a better tomorrow.

Tony Coventry, Campbell Scientific Vice President, Environmental Division, echoed this sentiment: “To be recognised for the best weather observation technology is a tremendous honour. This achievement reflects Campbell Scientific’s commitment to innovation built on the strongest foundation of science and technology. Accurate weather observation data saves lives and provides valuable insights that can be used to protect the world, its resources, and people. We are proud to play a role in shaping a safer, more resilient and informed world.”
