Three common functions of agricultural automatic weather stations

The development of environmental monitoring is inseparable from a variety of observation instruments. Automatic weather stations have always been widely used in agriculture, forestry, environmental protection and many other fields. What is the main function of the automatic weather station? The equipment is mainly used to monitor the changes of environmental parameters in the area, and to store, set and transmit the data.

What is the main function of an automatic weather station?

Its functions include environmental parameter monitoring, local data storage and setting, remote data transmission and control, etc. As a commonly used equipment in the field of meteorological observation, it has many observation parameters, accurate data measurement and wide monitoring range, and is very popular in the market. The monitoring instrument provides scientific data for smart agriculture, smart city construction, flood control and disaster relief and other fields.

1. Monitoring of environmental parameters

The basic function of automatic weather station equipment is to observe environmental parameters. Usually the monitored environmental factors include wind speed, wind direction, atmospheric pressure, ultraviolet radiation, sunshine hours, soil temperature and humidity, soil nutrients, rainfall, snowfall, noise, etc. number parameter. In different monitoring fields, the parameters monitored by the instrument are not the same, and the specific parameters need to be determined according to the actual monitoring needs.

2. Local storage and settings

Weather stations can not only monitor environmental parameters, but also store relevant data in data collectors. The device has a built-in memory card, which can store hundreds of millions of meteorological data, which can meet the monitoring needs of various fields. In addition, through the local host, you can also set and view the environmental parameters, and automatically send out an alarm when the set range is exceeded.

3. Remote transmission and control of automatic weather stations

Automatic weather station equipment is usually installed in outdoor places, even some remote wilderness, desert and even forest. Therefore, another function of the device is to realize the remote transmission of monitoring data, which is convenient for people to view the relevant data through the computer terminal and mobile phone APP. The communication methods usually include GPRS/3G/4G/5G, optical fiber, Ethernet port, wifi, etc.

The appearance of this type of instrument meets people's modern environmental monitoring needs, and has made important contributions to the development of meteorological scientific research, teaching, agriculture and other fields.
