Facility-based agricultural weather stations

A weather station is a commonly used meteorological instrument that provides detailed meteorological data and combines it with specific application scenarios, industries and specific options for the various sensing hardware devices that make it up. This equipment enables the timely and accurate detection and recording of weather changes and other information to provide a reference for improving agricultural production efficiency.

The compact size and low cost of the monitoring system are the main advantages of the agro-weather station. It provides a fine meteorological service for the village groups and other production units in the agricultural production area, especially for the combination of observation data and agricultural production management for comprehensive analysis and guidance of production operations.

The station uses a multi-factor integrated sensor to monitor CO2, barometric pressure, rainfall, wind speed, wind direction, light level, air temperature and humidity, soil temperature and humidity and PM2.5/PM10 simultaneously. It is suitable for field operations and remote sending of letters to farmers via wireless LAN. The farmers are able to visualise the weather indicators through Android/IOS mobile phones, computers, or LED monitoring screens.

The multi-structured system is closely interlinked, but works independently of each other. When selecting hardware for a weather station, the key thing is to choose the right sensor, depending on the environmental characteristics of the area and the budget. Commonly used sensors are air temperature and humidity sensors, wind speed/direction sensors, atmospheric pressure sensors, soil temperature and humidity sensors, CO2 sensors, etc.

Advantages:

1. independent of time constraints and highly automated, requiring no human guarding;

2. flexible and convenient to use, easy to install, can quickly set up a variety of stations, saving manpower costs.
