32 FOCUS ON WEATHER MONITORING New generation of weather stations


High quality wind measurement solutions


Engineered in the UK for the demanding accuracy, reliability and durability requirements of the Wind Energy industry, the Vector Instruments range of First Class wind sensors are also suited to many other applications, including industrial, agricultural, transport, aero, marine, military, research and general meteorology


The Vector Instruments A100L2 and W200P models are the basis of the UK Meteorological Office’s current MK6 wind instrument set, and the A100/W200 instrument family is used in applications worldwide by Industry, Research and Weather Agencies. These robust instruments have provided users with good wind data throughout some of the most powerful typhoons & cyclones in recent years.


Pessl Instruments’s team of experts developed a new generation of weather stations, iMETOS LoRAIN – the most essential sensor set for every field. It is an affordable, compact and easy to use precision farming equipment. The official launch of the product was 25th of February, 2019.


It was developed with 35 years of experience and Pessl are confident to say that with this station in the field, one will never miss the spray window, overuse fertiliser or let disease take control of the field again. The station measures the most essential weather parameters (temperature, relative humidity and rainfall), calculates many more with the help of 8 virtual sensors and as a result becomes an indispensable decision support system. It has an everlasting energy source in the form of a solar panel and works whenever the minimum of sunlight is available. The collected data is sent via LoRaWAN network to the FieldClimate platform, where it can be reached with the help of a mobile app, from anywhere, anytime.


Not only in crop production, it can be helpful in livestock production as well. The station assures that the climatic conditions in stalls are under constant control and can help prevent animal health problems that occur in houses with nonstandard climatic conditions. The founder and CEO of Pessl Instruments, Gottfried Pessl, explains: “The digital age is here and it has penetrated into every aspect of our lives. At Pessl Instruments we understand the advantages of technology and its importance for intelligent and pro-active farming. To provide the best user-experience we constantly approve our products and services and collaborate with leading industry providers as well to achieve that. We are sure it will help to close the gap between the smart-farming and those who are still sceptical of it.”

US National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration automatic sounding system project


in Alaska successfully completed In January, NOAA’s National Weather Service will leverage the success of its relationship with Vaisala on last year’s Alaska project, delivering an additional eight fully automated sounding systems across the continental U.S. Vaisala have just announced the successful completion of a project with National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA)’s National Weather Service (NWS) to automate upper-air observations in Alaska. NOAA has now contracted Vaisala to deploy an additional eight Vaisala AUTOSONDE®

AS15s.


“Manually launched radiosondes have been essential weather forecasting tools for decades. From time and cost savings and the ability to work in a wide range of climates and environments to equivalent data quality and availability, our project revealed that automating the process of releasing weather balloons makes good business sense for the NWS,” said Matt Jones, Vice President, Weather and Environment Americas at Vaisala. In addition to two previously automated sites, the Alaska project saw the installation of Vaisala’s AUTOSONDE® technology across 11 of the state’s upper-air stations. The project is part of a broader agency initiative to migrate the signal used to transmit radiosonde data out of the radio frequency now used by NOAA’s GOES satellites. With the new deployments in the continental U.S., there will be eight operational AUTOSONDEs, in addition to two existing locations that are being used for training and logistics support.


Used by the NWS for over 80 years, radiosondes measure wind speed and direction, air pressure and temperature and relative humidity, generating the information meteorologists need to produce forecasts that serve to protect life and property. In similar fashion as manually launched balloons, the weather balloons used in automatic soundings are filled with hydrogen or helium and ascend 22 miles above earth through the troposphere and into the stratosphere. The devastating impacts of extreme weather events can be reduced by taking advanced action, which is why weather forecasting is crucial and underpins the NWS Weather-Ready Nation program’s mission to protect life and property from extreme weather, water and climate events. In light of an increase in costly severe weather incidents and climate disasters over recent years, collecting weather forecasting information is more important than ever, and the Alaska project demonstrated automatic sounding systems guarantee a 97% success rate.


Automating upper-air activities enables NOAA to improve employee recruitment and retention and maximise its resources and budget. By achieving all of the scheduled launches, AUTOSONDEs enable trained meteorology professionals to work on more pressing tasks, such as supporting decision-makers in the field, providing weather support for emerging needs or for enhanced forecasting. Automation also makes it easier to launch extra soundings to collect additional data ahead of major weather events. Radiosondes are launched twice a day at 92 sites across the U.S., including 13 in Alaska. The launches in Alaska generate data that are especially important to support downstream forecasts for the continental U.S. Automating the launch process guarantees timely data is collected so that decision-makers have the information they need to effectively protect people and property.
