The NiuBoL scenic area automatic meteorological station, as core hardware for smart scenic area construction, provides decision support for scenic area management, safety warnings, and brand marketing through real-time and precise data monitoring.

Core Value and Practical Significance of Scenic Area Automatic Meteorological Stations

Tourism scenic areas are often influenced by terrain, altitude, and vegetation coverage, resulting in unique microclimate characteristics. Conventional large-scale weather forecasts are difficult to accurately cover every scenic area node.

1.Enhance Tourist Travel Experience
   Real-time publication of temperature, humidity, wind speed, and other information within the scenic area can guide tourists in reasonably arranging activity times and clothing. Especially for high-altitude or forest-type scenic areas, this thoughtful meteorological service is key to improving tourist satisfaction.

2.Digital Presentation of Ecological Business Cards
   Negative oxygen ion content is known as "air vitamins." The NiuBoL monitoring system can convert abstract air quality into visual data. High-concentration negative oxygen ion data not only attracts health tourism visitors but also becomes a "green business card" for scenic area promotion.

3.Enhance Scenic Area Disaster Prevention and Avoidance Capabilities
   For mountain-type scenic areas, instantaneous strong winds, heavy rain, or extreme temperatures may endanger the safety of cable cars, rafting, and other projects. The second-level monitoring and warning functions of automatic meteorological stations are indispensable in scenic area emergency management systems.

System Composition of NiuBoL Scenic Area Automatic Meteorological Stations

A complete scenic area automatic meteorological monitoring system usually involves coordinated work between precision hardware and intelligent software. NiuBoL is committed to providing modular and expandable integrated solutions.

Core Sensor Matrix

Sensors are the "senses" of the system and can be freely configured according to actual scenic area needs with the following elements:

1.Temperature and Humidity Sensor: Foundation of Comfort Index
   NiuBoL adopts high-precision digital integrated temperature and humidity sensors, protected by built-in radiation-proof ventilation hoods (louver boxes) to avoid interference from direct sunlight and ground radiation on measurement results.
   Function: Precisely measure ambient air temperature and relative humidity.
   Application Scenario: This is core data for calculating "perceived temperature" and "heatstroke index." In summer resorts or ski resorts, temperature and humidity data is the most intuitive reference for tourists choosing travel equipment.

2.Wind Speed and Direction Sensor: Guardian of Operational Safety
   Usually divided into three-cup anemometers and wind vanes, or more advanced ultrasonic integrated wind sensors.
   Function: Monitor real-time wind speed (including instantaneous maximum wind speed) and wind flow direction.
   Application Scenario: For scenic areas with high-altitude cable cars, glass walkways, hot air balloons, or paragliding, this is a mandatory safety indicator. When wind speed exceeds the safety threshold (such as above level 6), the system can link scenic area broadcasts or control systems to remind project suspension.

3.Tipping Bucket Rain Gauge: Warning Device for Flash Floods and Geological Disasters
   NiuBoL tipping bucket rain gauge uses physical balance principle; whenever rainfall accumulates to a specific amount (such as 0.2mm or 0.1mm), the bucket tips and generates a pulse signal.
   Function: Monitor total rainfall, rainfall intensity, and rainfall time span.
   Application Scenario: In rainy mountainous scenic areas, rainfall monitoring can effectively prevent local flash floods, debris flows, and other geological disasters. Data can link with scenic area drainage systems for advance flood prevention preparation.

4.Negative Oxygen Ion Sensor: "Gold Standard" for Scenic Area Air
   This is NiuBoL's core component customized for forest parks and health bases. It adopts the internationally advanced capacitive suction method principle, calculating concentration by collecting small ion charges in air.
   Function: Measure the number of negative ions per cubic centimeter in air.
   Application Scenario: Negative oxygen ion concentration is quantitative evidence of "natural oxygen bars." High concentrations have significant effects on relieving fatigue and enhancing immunity, a powerful marketing means to attract middle-aged and elderly health groups and parent-child tours.

5.Illumination and Solar Radiation Sensor: Sunscreen Index and Plant Monitoring
   This sensor senses visible light and full-band radiation intensity through silicon photocells or thermopiles.
   Function: Monitor total solar radiation, ultraviolet intensity (UV), and illuminance.
   Application Scenario: Real-time generation of "ultraviolet warnings" reminds tourists to apply sunscreen via scenic area LED screens. Simultaneously, for scenic areas with famous ancient trees, illumination data helps managers analyze vegetation growth environments.

6.Atmospheric Pressure Sensor: "Forecaster" of Weather Changes
   Adopts piezoresistive sensors, capable of capturing extremely small atmospheric pressure fluctuations.
   Function: Measure real-time pressure values.
   Application Scenario: Sharp pressure fluctuations usually indicate frontal passage or storm approach. In scenic areas with large altitude differences (such as famous mountains and rivers), pressure data can also assist tourists in assessing high-altitude reaction risks and help backend algorithms improve short-term weather warning accuracy.

Integration Advantages of Scenic Area Automatic Meteorological Station Sensor Matrix

NiuBoL's sensor matrix has the following technical characteristics:

Standardized Output: Unified RS485 (Modbus-RTU) protocol, strong compatibility, convenient for later addition or reduction of elements.

Detailed Functions of Key Meteorological Sensors in Scenic Areas

To make everyone clearer about the logic behind monitoring data, we sort out the functions of several core sensors commonly used by NiuBoL:

1.Negative Oxygen Ion Sensor: Measuring Scale of Ecological Value
   Negative oxygen ion concentration is the most intuitive indicator for measuring scenic area air freshness. NiuBoL adopts the internationally advanced capacitive suction method principle, accurately capturing negative small ions in air. Higher data means purer air, more beneficial for preventing respiratory diseases and relaxing body and mind.

2.Tipping Bucket Rain Gauge: Precise Flood Prevention Warning
   Unlike traditional visual observation, automatic rain gauges can record every 0.1mm or 0.2mm precipitation through precision tipping bucket structures. This has extremely high reference value for flash flood warnings in mountainous scenic areas.

3.Wind Direction and Speed Sensor: Red Line for Safe Operation
   In high-risk amusement projects such as high-altitude cable cars, bungee jumping, and paragliding, instantaneous wind force is an absolute red line indicator. Automatic meteorological stations can provide real-time feedback on wind levels and immediately trigger alarms once exceeding safety thresholds.

4.Ultraviolet Radiation Sensor: Intimate Assistant for Tourists
   For summer tourism, ultraviolet index is one of the most concerned information for tourists. Through real-time monitoring of radiation intensity, scenic area LED screens can give "sunscreen suggestions," increasing the humanistic care sense of the scenic area.
