Present weather sensor

Product Overview: Present weather sensor

In a complex and changing meteorological environment, accurate and timely visibility information is essential to ensure traffic safety and improve the accuracy of weather forecasting. Present weather sensor is a new generation of meteorological visibility monitoring equipment designed based on the aerosol front scattering principle. It provides accurate weather visibility measurements.

Present weather sensor not only represents a new generation of meteorological optical range (MOR) measurement technology, but also with its excellent performance and adaptability, it is widely used in weather stations, remote automatic weather stations, airports, highways, airways, large ships and other transportation sectors, which is the ideal choice to ensure traffic safety and weather monitoring.

Present weather sensor working principle:

- Main components: including optical transmitter, optical receiver and microprocessor controller.

- Measurement process: the transmitter emits infrared pulse light, the receiver detects the forward scattered light intensity of aerosol particles, and the microprocessor controller converts the data into meteorological optical range of view (MOR) through specialized algorithms.

Present weather sensor core functions

Highly accurate measurement: By accurately measuring the forward scattered light intensity of aerosol particles in the atmosphere, combined with the proprietary mathematical modeling algorithm, the data is quickly converted into meteorological optical range of view (MOR), ensuring accurate and reliable data.

Wide applicability: Integrated design, compact and portable, it can easily cope with both fixed installation and temporary deployment to meet the needs of multiple scenarios.

Strong anti-interference ability: Unique double scattering receiver structure design, effectively inhibit the sunlight and stray light interference, to ensure that the measurement data is pure and free of clutter.
