What Benefits Does IoT Bring to the World of Meteorology?
Due to IoT, the cost of wireless sensor systems and meteorological weather stations has come down slightly for the following reasons…
Wireless modem costs have been reduced.
Power consumption of wireless data transmission has been reduced creating a chain reaction with the cost benefits of smaller electronics, smaller battery and smaller solar panel requirements.
What has not changed is the know-how required to produce high quality measurements. This know-how and its attention to detail from years of R&D differentiates the “random-number generators” from real measurement systems.
Despite the hype of big data, AI and advanced statistical methods, the early adopters of low-cost weather stations and meteorological sensors from most startup companies and agricultural sensor manufacturers have been, for the most part, disappointed.
A second wave of IoT sensor adoption is upon us as researchers, smart-city managers and resilient-city initiatives are beginning to replace the first wave of low-cost meteorological sensors. High quality professional meteorological sensors are being introduced with the goal of maintaining long-term measurement stability in all weather conditions. After all, global warming is happening on a scale of about 0.01 °C (0,018 °F) per year, which is deeply withing the noise of short-term measurement. Thus long-term stability of measurement is critical to creating accurate climatic data sets.
New technologies on the forefront of professional IoT sensors include the MeteoHelix® IoT Pro micro-weather stations which are designed based on years of measurement experience of BARANI DESIGN Technologies.
