Air Monitoring Automatic Weather Stations to be Installed in Indonesia
Working in conjunction with distributor, PT Inter Pasific Cemerlang, workplace and climate monitoring specialist, Casella Monitor (UK), has won an order for 14 Agricultural Automatic Weather Stations (AAWS) from the Bureau of Meteorology Climatology and Geophysics in Indonesia.
The AAWS units, which are funded directly by the Indonesian government, will be installed by the distributor in locations on Sumatra, Kalimantan, Sulawesi, Java and the Sumbawa islands in order to better understand the affect of the climate on the country’s agriculture and to improve its agricultural output.
The long term goal of the Bureau of Meteorology Climatology and Geophysics, also known as Badan Meteorologi Klimatologi dan Geofisika, is to install around 500 AAWS throughout Indonesia.
All the stations will send continuous data in one-minute bursts to the main server located in the Bureau’s head office in Jakarta. This new station network will also be linked to existing AAWS units, with the data being accessible online through a website.
Wind speed, wind direction, relative humidity, temperature, rainfall, photosynthetically active radiation (PAR), grass temperature, soil moisture, soil temperature and evaporation will all be among the elements measured by the units, with addition of a number of 10 metre high masts.
Peter Lawson International Sales Manager at Casella, comments: “This is an exciting project for us which, if all goes well, will lead to future installations of our product throughout South East Asia.”
An Official from the Bureau says: “Casella has an excellent reputation in the market for providing durable products that provide accurate information but require little maintenance.”

He continues: “Climate change has made it increasingly necessary for us to gather environmental data, particularly in respect to assisting our farmers and we hope that it will provide increased insurance for the country’s crops for years to come.”

New Precision Level Transducer Delivers Extreme Accuracy
Measurement Specialties (USA), a global designer and manufacturer of sensor and sensor-based systems for measuring pressure/force, position, vibration, temperature, humidity and fluid properties, now offers the TruBlue 575 Baro transducer that measures and logs barometric pressure as well as temperature with extreme accuracy.
The new absolute, non-submersible 575 Baro has an internal memory of 8 MB and can store up to 550,000 data points. Its internal 3.6 V lithium battery, with on-board surge protection, has a lifespan of five years, making this new transducer ideal for groundwater and surface water data collection and monitoring applications in low-maintenance systems and remote locations.
The TruBlue 575 Baro provides an accuracy of ±0.1% FS total error band, which includes changes in temperature within the compensated temperature range of 0°C to 50°C. The transducer has an RS-485 electrical interface.
The new transducer comes standard with TruWare, Measurement Specialties’ user-friendly software created specifically for the TruBlue line. Users can view, graph and export test data using this software. TruWare is available for PC applications.
Sampling modes for the TruBlue 575 Baro include linear, linear average and event, with programmable sampling rates of up to five readings per second.
The transducer is just 3/4” in diameter and comes in welded stainless steel or titanium. It has an operating temperature range of 0°C to 50°C and a pressure range from 8 to 16 psia.
The 575 Baro has a two-year warranty and comes standard with a calibration report. Reader Reply Card No. The More Intelligent Way to Measure Solar Irradiance
Kipp & Zonen (Netherlands) proudly presents a new and intelligent generation of pyranometers. Equipped with an extremely low power Smart Interface, the new Smart SMP Pyranometers offer industry standard digital and amplified analogue outputs within the well-known CMP series housings.
Customer feedback, state of the art technology and the expertise of a team of Kipp & Zonen engineers have resulted in a unique new pyranometer range. It is built on the proven design and technology of the CMP series, but includes an Integrated Smart Interface that provides versatile outputs and two-way data communication.
“The active use of a built-in temperature sensor is one of the biggest breakthroughs in the development of the SMP Smart Pyranometer. The detector signal is digitally temperature corrected and makes the SMP Smart pyranometers irradiance measurements temperature-independent over a very wide range”, said Ruud Ringoir, product manager at Kipp & Zonen. “Thanks to the integrated Modbus® you now can communicate with your pyranometer allowing connection to digital equipment such as programmable logic controllers (PLC’s). Moreover all SMP pyranometers are programmed to have identical sensitivity and output levels, making them easily interchangeable for re-calibration or service.”
Kipp & Zonen has been manufacturing pyranometers for over 80 years. These instruments are designed for measuring the total (global) irradiance from the sun and sky falling on a plane surface in the wavelength range from approximately 0.3 to 3 µm (micrometers). With the new SMP Smart Pyranometer Series Kipp & Zonen combines instruments and industry standard interfaces into one unique instrument.
