Background:

Automatic weather station is a kind of automatic meteorological observation equipment. It realizes automatic monitoring and data collection of meteorological elements by means of sensors, communication technology and computer technology. There are many classifications and applications of automatic weather stations. Let’s introduce them in detail.

Automatic weather station is a kind of modern meteorological observation equipment. It realizes automatic monitoring and data collection of meteorological elements by means of sensors, communication technology and computer technology. The application of automatic weather station is very wide, not only can be used in weather forecast and meteorological research, but also can be used in environmental monitoring, agriculture, forestry, ocean and other fields of meteorological observation.

Classification of weather stations:

Weather station is a kind of automatic meteorological observation equipment. It realizes automatic monitoring and data collection of meteorological elements by means of sensors, communication technology and computer technology. The classification of weather stations is very diverse and can be divided into different types according to different classification criteria.

According to the type of sensor can be divided into temperature sensor, humidity sensor, air pressure sensor, wind speed sensor and so on. Temperature sensors can be used to monitor air temperature, humidity sensors can be used to monitor air humidity, barometric sensors can be used to monitor barometric pressure, and wind speed sensors can be used to monitor wind speed.

According to the communication technology can be divided into wired sensor and wireless sensor. Wired sensors can transmit data over cables and wireless sensors can transmit data over radio waves.

According to computer technology can be divided into single station and multi – station. Single-station weather stations have only one computer for data acquisition and processing. Multi-station weather stations have multiple computers for data acquisition, processing and storage.

According to the application range can be divided into ground meteorological station, high altitude meteorological station, Marine meteorological station, etc. Surface meteorological stations are mainly used for surface meteorological observation, high-altitude meteorological stations are mainly used for high-altitude meteorological observation, and oceanic meteorological stations are mainly used for Marine meteorological observation.

It can be divided into air temperature, air pressure, wind speed, humidity, rainfall, wind direction, wind speed, etc. Air temperature can be used to monitor changes in air temperature, air pressure can be used to monitor changes in air pressure, wind speed can be used to monitor changes in wind speed, humidity can be used to monitor changes in air humidity, rainfall can be used to monitor changes in precipitation, wind direction can be used to monitor changes in wind speed.

According to the data transmission mode can be divided into wired transmission and wireless transmission. Wired transmission can transmit data over cables and wireless transmission can transmit data over radio waves.

According to the purpose of observation, it can be divided into meteorological observation station, meteorological observation network, meteorological observation system, etc. Meteorological observation stations are mainly used for meteorological observation, meteorological observation network can be used for meteorological observation, meteorological observation system can be used for meteorological observation.

Application of automatic weather station:

The application of automatic weather station is very wide, let’s introduce it in detail.

1.Weather forecast

Weather forecasting is one of the most important applications of automatic weather stations. Automatic weather stations can monitor meteorological elements in real time, and provide accurate weather forecast through data analysis and processing. The China Meteorological Administration’s Fengyun-3 weather satellite, for example, can forecast weather from data from automatic weather stations.

2.Environmental monitoring

Automatic weather stations can be used for environmental monitoring, such as monitoring air quality, water quality, soil temperature and so on. The analysis and processing of these data can help environmental protection departments to develop more scientific environmental protection measures.

3.Agriculture

Automatic weather stations can be used for agricultural meteorological observation, such as monitoring the temperature, humidity, wind speed and other meteorological elements, to help farmers better grasp the situation of agricultural production and improve agricultural production efficiency.

4.Forestry

Automatic weather stations can be used for forestry meteorological observation, such as monitoring the temperature, humidity, wind speed and other meteorological elements, to help forestry departments better grasp the situation of forestry production and improve the efficiency of forestry production.

5.The Ocean

Automatic weather stations can be used for Marine meteorological observation, such as monitoring meteorological elements such as temperature, humidity and wind speed, to help Marine departments better grasp the Marine ecological environment and improve the efficiency of Marine ecological environmental protection.

In short, the application of automatic weather stations is very wide, can provide important data support and technical support for weather forecast, environmental monitoring, agriculture, forestry, Marine and other fields. With the continuous development and progress of technology, the application scope and effect of automatic weather station will be expanded and improved.
