Markbaserad

Markbaserad is a Swedish adjective meaning ground-based or terrestrial, used to describe systems, methods, or measurements that operate from the ground or rely on terrestrial premises rather than from air, space, or cloud environments. The term is formed from mark (ground/land) and baserad (based). It is commonly used in technical, scientific, and agricultural contexts to distinguish ground-level implementations from other modalities.

In practice, markbaserad can refer to content, infrastructure, or activities conducted on or from the Earth’s surface. Examples include markbaserade sensor networks deployed on location to monitor environmental conditions, markbaserad geoteknisk testing performed on-site, or markbaserad jord- och växtförhållande övervakning som bygger på data insamlade i fält. In computing or data services, the phrase may be used to emphasize on-site or locally hosted resources as opposed to cloud-based solutions, though it is more often specified by the domain in question.

Relation to other terms: markbaserad is frequently contrasted with satellitbaserad (satellite-based), flygbaserad (aerial-based), or molnbaserad (cloud-based). The term highlights the physical, ground-level basis of the activity or technology rather than the remote or virtual location.
