 Core Meteorological Sensors and Working Principles 

Temperature Sensor  

Uses high-precision PT100 or digital temperature chips, measuring range -40°C to +80°C, accuracy ≤ ±0.2°C. Combined with environmental compensation algorithms, it ensures accurate data even under high humidity, strong wind, or intense sunlight conditions. Suitable for agricultural monitoring, scientific experiments, and environmental monitoring. 

Humidity Sensor  

Adopts capacitive humidity-sensitive elements or high-precision digital sensors to measure atmospheric water vapor content, range 0–100% RH, accuracy ±2%. Humidity data can be used for irrigation optimization, environmental monitoring, and meteorological research. 

Wind Speed & Direction Sensor

Ultrasonic wind speed and direction sensor calculates wind speed and direction by measuring the time difference and directional changes of ultrasonic waves propagating through the air. Response time <1 second, high accuracy, no mechanical friction, reducing wear and maintenance costs.  

Traditional mechanical anemometers and wind vanes are still available for portable models, but ultrasonic technology offers superior long-term stability and faster response. 

Rainfall Sensor  

Tipping-bucket or optical rain gauge, measuring range 0.2–500 mm/h, accuracy ±3%. Combined with temperature and humidity data, it provides references for smart irrigation, hydrological monitoring, and flood warning. 

Air Pressure Sensor

Accuracy 0.1 hPa, measuring range 10–1100 hPa. Combined with temperature and humidity data, it enables weather trend forecasting, providing decision support for agriculture, aviation, and transportation. 

Light Intensity Sensor

Detects solar radiation intensity in the 400–1100 nm wavelength range, light intensity 0–200,000 lx. Provides data foundation for crop light management in agriculture, urban lighting optimization, and scientific experiments.
