1.2. Automatic school weather station
The automation of meteorological measurement technology offers the possibility to to integrate modern measuring technology into teaching.
The Cloud Platform is a service for all students who want to raise their awareness of weather, climate, the environment, and nature. As consumers of tomorrow, it is very important for children and young people to learn more about how meteorological processes work and the factors that influence them. To establish a positive future scenario, a rethinking of the environment, nutrition, and consumer behavior is essential. In this spirit, students should explore profound questions.
The use of a combination of automatic and conventional weather station teaches students the methodological basics of measurement technology and combines in a meaningful way the methods and principles of modern data acquisition and evaluation with the possibilities of MSR technology (IOT).
1.3 HIM compact weather station
1.3.1 School weather station with wireless data transmission
The school weather station with wireless data transmission consists of a data logger with GSM or GPSRS modem and a compact sensor for determining the parameters wind direction
-
- Wind speed
- Air temperature
- Humidity
- radiation
The data loggers are equipped with a GSM/GPRS module and enable the monitoring of several physical quantities in a wide range of applications.
The device can send data via email, SMS, or FTP and can upload data to an HTTP server. You can also establish a direct GPRS-TCP/IP connection with a remote PC that has an Internet connection. The data logger has a display and is IP67 protected. It requires no additional housing. Thus, the data can also be written to a MySQL database.
The compact sensor allows the determination of wind direction and wind speed using the ultrasonic method. The air temperature is measured using a resistance sensor. The air temperature is measured using a capacitive sensor. The compact sensor measures global radiation using a thermopile. The compact sensor has analog and serial outputs.
2. The installation
For the preparation of the Measuring station you need about An open space that should not be accessible to everyone and should be no more than 100 meters away from a permanent internet connection (e.g., in a school building, administration building, office, etc.). The data is transmitted automatically via radio to a receiving station in the building, from which you can read the current data yourself. This station simultaneously transmits the data to us via a router (connected to the internet).
During installation, the guidelines of VDI 3786 should be observed.
For correct measurement of the parameters, the following recommendations and guidelines apply:
