Wireless Sensor Node Application For Weather Monitoring (original) (raw)

A Study on the Development of a Wireless Climate Monitoring System

The aim of this study is to develop a wireless-controlled meteorological station. For this purpose, a microcontroller evaluating climatic factors such as air temperature, relative humidity, wind velocity, wind direction and rain was used. The data obtained from the sensors were transmitted to a climate-monitoring unit located in a control room, through a radio modem. Data, received from meteorological station, monitored on a LCD, were loaded into an EEPROM that is in microcontroller and sent to a PC via RS232 interface. All data transferred to PC also allows to save climate data over a longer period and to display data in graphs. In addition, if the air conditions come too close to peak point such as strong wind velocity, heavy rain and high temperature, an alarm is generated,.

Microcontroller Based Remote Weather Monitoring System

2018

The measurement of temperature, relative humidity and light intensity remotely by using the sensor is not only important in weather monitoring but also crucial for many other applications such as agriculture and industrial processes. This study proposed a remote weather monitoring system that is based on Arduino Uno Microcontroller that have the ability to monitor, measure and display the temperature, relative humidity and light intensity of the atmosphere, using analogue and digital components. The analogue outputs of the sensors are connected to a microcontroller through an ADC for digital signal conversion and data logging. An LCD display is also connected to the microcontroller to display the measurement. For analysis and archiving purposes, the data can be transferred over GSM and receiver section to a mobile phone. The device has many advantages compared to other weather monitoring system in terms of its smaller size, on-device display, low cost and portability. The major strength of our proposed technique is that it does not need computer or internet service for monitoring locations remotely hence making the method to be cost effective. It is obvious that our proposed system is better in terms of expense, compactness, memory size and logging interval-setting ability.

Design and Construction of a Low Cost Digital Weather Station

This work is focused on the design and construction of a low cost weather station which makes weather related data available for different purposes such as agriculture, aviation weather forecasting, etc. The design is made up of an outdoor module which measures four weather elements (temperature, atmospheric pressure, relative humidity and wind speed) through their respective sensors. This module transmits the sampled data wirelessly through radio frequency (RF) to an indoor module which receives the data and automatically logs the data to a database. A MATLAB® based graphical user interface (GUI) was also incorporated to view the logged data and perform some setup operations on the system.

Weather Monitoring System Using Wi-Fi

2016

This paper presents a weather monitoring system for monitoring parameters such as temperature, pressure, humidity, rainfall, wind speed and direction. All the necessary parameters to be monitored are sensed using various sensors. For temperature pressure and humidity measurement readily available sensors have been used whereas wind-speed, wind-direction and rainfall have been measured using rotary encoder, opto-coupler, tipping bucket technique respectively. The measured data is processed using microcontroller based system and made available wirelessly on the server for storage and access continuously. The system is totally automatic thus minimizing human error. This kind of monitoring system can be used in industries, agriculture, metrological department etc for data acquisition and analysis.

Development of a Low-Cost Arduino-Based Weather Station

FUOYE Journal of Engineering and Technology, 2020

A weather station is a facility located either on land or sea consisting of instruments and equipment which can be used to measure atmospheric conditions so as to provide weather forecasts information and to study the weather. The existing instruments used for measuring the weather elements are expensive which led to the development of a low-cost Arduino-based weather station. The developed low-cost weather station consists of three separate modules which are data collection, data storage, and data communication. These modules communicate serially with each other and are controlled by three separate microcontrollers (Arduino Uno). The data collection module is interfaced with a set of sensors that collects temperature and humidity. The weather data were viewed in real-time through a graphical user interface (GUI) located at the central station. The developed weather station was able to measure the temperature and humidity of a controlled environment, giving the reading at interval o...

Design, Implementation and Evaluation of Remote Weather Monitoring System

2018

The measurement of weather variables today is of great importance to both farmers and researchers. These investigations reveal several indicators that contribute to inventive decision making in research and farming. The conventional manual techniques for weather monitoring are prone to errors and can be both time consuming and tedious. This paper presents an automated weather monitoring system. The system was designed, implemented and evaluated using electronic sensors. The proposed system can monitor and measure temperature, humidity, wind speed, wind direction, solar illumination and rainfall at near real-time. Remote monitoring was made possible by XBee modules at the transmitting and receiving units. Upon receiving weather parameters, a data logger saves the values on a PC. The system was evaluated using existing monitors. Correlation of 75%, 99% and 99% were obtained for the wind speed, humidity and temperature variables between the developed and existing systems. A 100% resemblance between the developed and existing system was obtained for the wind direction monitoring. Rainfall was simulated using a syringe of known volume and the system was able to record it with 96.8% accuracy.
