TOP4 Weather Station Introduction
What is a weather sensor?
A meteorological sensor is a single measuring unit that constitutes a weather station. A sensor can measure one or more meteorological elements. The combination of multiple meteorological sensors and a data collector and monitoring platform will become a complete weather station. The meteorological sensor is the sensing end of the weather station, which collects various data related to the weather. Weather station can obtain the main parameters and information of climate, all depend on the sensor measurement. These seemingly small parts are the basis for the proper operation of a weather station. They are like the frontline soldiers and stormtroopers of climate monitoring, escorting the work of weather monitoring.
What do you need for a weather sensor?
These sensors may vary by model, but most can measure wind speed, direction, temperature, relative humidity, air pressure, rainfall, evaporation, PAR, and ultraviolet or solar radiation. Other available sensors can measure noise, negative ions, soil moisture, soil temperature, and leaf moisture.

Multi-parameter Automatic Climate
The automatic weather station can continuously and automatically monitor temperature and humidity, PM2.5, PM10, atmospheric pressure, wind speed, wind direction, noise, rainfall, soil, evaporation, SO2, NO, O3, CO, quickly and accurately collect and process monitoring data to achieve regional air quality Online automatic monitoring.The automatic weather station is composed of seven main parts: monitoring platform, acquisition system, communication system, sensor system, power supply system, real scene monitoring system and mechanical installation system. The weather station can combine the actual landscape measurement and LED display, and measure the air temperature and humidity, wind direction, wind speed, rainfall, soil temperature, soil moisture, light intensity, atmospheric pressure and other meteorological environmental elements at the same time. Adopting an open and friendly design concept, users can change element components and module cooperation by themselves, and quickly realize the change and expansion of data collection and processing methods and observation elements.
Agricultural Climate/ Weather/ Environment Station-Smart Farming
Agricultural-Weather station (agri-meteorological monitoring system) is a comprehensive small-scale automatic weather monitoring system designed for real-time monitoring of agricultural ecological environment, environmental monitoring related to agricultural production activities, and regulation of farmland meteorological environment. It can continuously monitor and collect information on agricultural environmental factors, such as soil, moisture, light, and heat. It can comprehensively monitor the crop growth status and the soil moisture in the farmland, and grasp the crop growth status in time. When crops are restricted due to these factors, users can respond quickly and take emergency preventive measures.
Portable Weather Station
Portable weather station can continuously and automatically monitor temperature and humidity, PM2.5, PM10, atmospheric pressure, wind speed, wind direction, noise, rainfall, soil, evaporation, SO2, no, O3, CO and other real-time changes, quickly and accurately collect and process monitoring data, online automatic monitoring of regional air quality, Portable weather station，light and portable, super long standby for 10 hours.The portable weather station can be used in the fields of agricultural situation, sudden weather, scientific research and teaching, military application, etc
Rainfall Monitoring System-Rainfall Monitoring
The rainfall monitoring station is composed of seven main parts: a monitoring platform, a collection system, a communication system, a sensor system, a power supply system, a real scene monitoring system, and a mechanical installation system. The rainfall monitoring station can combine the actual landscape measurement and LED display, and simultaneously measure air temperature and humidity, wind direction, wind speed, rainfall, soil temperature, soil moisture, light intensity, atmospheric pressure and other meteorological environmental elements. The user adopts an open and friendly design concept, and the user can change the collaboration between element components and modules by himself, so as to quickly realize the change and expansion of data collection, processing methods, and observation elements. The difference between the design of the rainfall monitoring station and the weather station is that the rainfall monitoring station has an extra rain barrel.
The characteristics of a weather sensor
Accuracy: Weather sensors are designed to provide precise and reliable measurements of various weather parameters such as temperature, humidity, pressure, wind speed, and rainfall.
Sensing Range: Weather sensors have a wide sensing range to capture a broad spectrum of weather conditions and variations.
Durability: Weather sensors are constructed with robust materials to withstand harsh outdoor environments, including extreme temperatures, moisture, and UV exposure.
Sensing Elements: These sensors employ specific sensing elements such as thermistors, capacitive humidity sensors, anemometers, barometers, and rain gauges to measure different weather variables accurately.
Wireless Connectivity: Many weather sensors are equipped with wireless capabilities, allowing seamless integration into weather monitoring systems and enabling real-time data transmission.
Power Efficiency: Weather sensors are designed to consume minimal power to ensure long battery life or to operate using alternative energy sources like solar power.
Data Resolution and Sampling Rate: Weather sensors offer high-resolution measurements and fast sampling rates to capture rapid changes in weather conditions accurately.
Calibration: Weather sensors may require periodic calibration to maintain their accuracy and compensate for drift or sensor aging.

Mounting Flexibility: Weather sensors can be mounted on different structures, such as poles, rooftops, or weather stations, allowing for versatile installation options based on the specific requirements of the application.
Conclusion
All weather sensors can be connected to the main engine of the weather station. The host of the weather station will collect and upload the measurement data of all sensors to the cloud platform or customer-owned platform for users to view real-time data or historical data. The above are the types of weather sensors included in the full range of weather station products. Users can choose the type of sensor they need to match according to their own needs.
