What is a Weather observation system?

A meteorological observation system is a device that can automatically collect data related to weather such as wind speed, rainfall, temperature, humidity, and wind direction. By installing sensors that can measure multiple items at the site, observations that were previously performed by manned persons can now be performed unmanned. Meteorological observation systems are widely used in industrial fields such as factories and construction sites, as well as research institutes, including fire departments and local governments. Not only weather data related to rain and wind, but also those with a webcam are being developed. Off-the-shelf products are also on sale, but many can be made to order according to the user's needs.

Application of Weather observation system

The meteorological observation system has multiple meteorological observation sensors and can be operated unattended, so it is used in all scenes. From applications such as agriculture and research institutes for the purpose of monitoring meteorological data itself, to systems for the purpose of meteorological information for firefighting and disaster prevention in local governments such as river and coastal monitoring, and for the purpose of preventing traffic accidents. Meteorological observation meters are also used to monitor rainfall and wind speed. In recent years, the heat in summer has become noticeable, so a system with a built-in display of the heat index (WBGT: Wet Bulb globe temperature) is being used as a measure against heat at construction sites and outdoor events.
