Basic configuration of agricultural automatic weather station equipment

Automatic weather stations are widely used, not only in agriculture, forestry and scientific research fields have played a powerful role. What are the equipment of agricultural automatic weather station? Usually there are many types of equipment, including wind direction sensor, wind speed sensor, rain sensor, light sensor, air pressure sensor, ultraviolet radiation sensor and so on.

What are the equipment configurations of agricultural automatic weather stations?

Common equipment consists of hardware and software. The hardware includes sensors, data collectors, brackets, poles, etc., and the software includes meteorological analysis systems.

1. Instruments and equipment

Usually the equipment needs to be fixed on the ground, so equipment such as ground cages, poles, brackets, etc. are required. In addition, in order to protect the agricultural meteorological equipment from man-made damage, fences can also be installed around. Sensors such as wind speed sensor, wind direction sensor, air temperature, air humidity, atmospheric pressure, and light need to be fixed on the cross arm of the bracket to prevent shaking and affect the accuracy of parameters.

2. Power supply equipment

The instrument can choose between AC power supply and solar power supply. The specific implementation method needs to be determined according to actual needs. Compared with AC power, the solar power supply system is more environmentally friendly and energy-saving. It only needs to be equipped with a large-capacity battery to ensure the normal operation of the instrument.

3. Collection equipment

This category includes sensors and data collectors. The combination of the two realizes data collection, storage, transmission, conversion, etc. of environmental parameters. Agricultural observatories can collect a variety of meteorological parameters, including air temperature and humidity, light, ultraviolet rays, rainfall, snowfall, and so on. The acquisition device usually has good accuracy and low power consumption, which can meet different working environments.
