Wind and Temperature Delta Weather Station

Measurement of wind and temperature at 2 metres and 10 metres is crucial for accurate monitoring of wind and temperature disturbances at different levels. Combined with other meteorological parameters, the weather station can be used to provide detailed environmental parameters for management, research, and decision making.

By using the different tiers of weather stations, a cost-effective weather station Mesonet can be deployed, with a reference system that others can be compared to. The tier 3 systems can be used for compliance purposes due to the quality and traceability of the sensors used.

ICT International offer solutions for the continuous measurement of the parameters connected with an IoT-capable datalogger. When connected to the DB2 platform, evapotranspiration, delta sigma, and delta-t calculations are performed in the cloud using metadata from the sensors and data logger, requiring minimal input from the user.

Sensor combinations are built around three tiers of products, providing increasingly responsive and accurate solutions, culminating in a system that provides data that is suitable for integration with national weather systems.
