2. Core Structure Analysis and Multi-Parameter Measurement Methods of Compact Automatic Weather Stations

The core of a compact automatic weather station lies in its data logger and highly integrated sensor system.

Data Logger: The “Intelligent Core” of the System

The data logger is the core component of the meteorological monitoring system, powerful and highly intelligent:

Real-time processing and storage: It not only manages data flow in real time and executes necessary algorithm calculations but also has a built-in local database for storing collected observation data. Even during prolonged external communication network interruptions, the data logger ensures data integrity and prevents loss risk.
Remote control and maintenance: Supports remote access, allowing users to conveniently view data and control the system from anywhere. It also enables sensor calibration, maintenance operations, and system configuration — greatly facilitating weather station troubleshooting and daily maintenance.

Key Meteorological Parameter Measurement Methods
NiuBoL compact automatic weather station can monitor multiple meteorological parameters including air temperature, humidity, wind speed, wind direction, solar radiation, rainfall, and atmospheric pressure. This comprehensive data support is of great significance for environmental monitoring and meteorological research.

Wind speed/wind direction sensor: Typically uses ultrasonic or mechanical sensors to provide high-precision wind parameter data.
Temperature/humidity sensor: Adopts high-precision digital sensors to ensure data continuity and reliability.
Solar radiation sensor: Uses photocell or thermopile sensors to provide comprehensive data support for environmental monitoring and meteorological research.
Rainfall sensor: Uses tipping-bucket rain gauge to ensure measurement accuracy in all weather conditions.
