In December 2021 an automatic weather station was installed at Kohnen station.
The station is intended to replace the station "AWS9, DML05/Kohnen" in the future. AWS9 is located at the same spot and operated by the "Institute for Marine and Atmospheric research Utrecht (IMAU)".
Due to a defective charge controller, the station has been offline since September 2022. The next opportunity for repair is expected to be in early 2024.
