Weather stations can be divided into the following types according to different classification standards:

Automatic weather station: it can achieve automatic measurement, data can be transmitted and stored remotely, and the monitoring of up to dozens of meteorological parameters can be achieved through the meteorological software developed by Allied Creative. Automatic weather station does not require manual on-site operation, only through the computer, mobile phone and other devices can always know the weather data.

Handheld weather station: In some application scenarios, the parameters to be measured are relatively single, and there is no need to install fixed equipment. This time the choice of handheld weather station is a very good choice.

Small weather station: generally small size, measurement of parameters less demand, commonly used in fixed places of parameter measurement. Small weather station can be built twenty-four hours a day to measure, the parameters are generally in four to ten.

Portable weather station: small size, suitable for the need to constantly change the scene for the measurement of meteorological parameters of the crowd. Portable weather stations can generally never measure wind speed and direction, air temperature and humidity, soil temperature and humidity, as well as sunshine hours, light intensity, ultraviolet intensity and other parameters. This type of weather station is simple to use, easy to disassemble.

According to the use of points: photovoltaic/agricultural weather station/traffic/airport/scenic area/campus weather station, and so on.

According to the name or number of measuring elements: four elements, five elements, six elements, nine elements, twelve elements weather station, etc..

According to the installation environment and geographic location: reference station / regional station / mesoscale / photovoltaic rooftop weather station, etc.

According to the degree of automation and quality control: manned/unmanned station, high precision, semi-automatic/automatic weather station.

According to the installation mode: fixed weather station, portable weather station.

According to the data transmission mode (that is, communication mode): wired transmission, wireless transmission, RS232, RS485 and so on.

Weather stations can be divided into the following types according to their functions, equipment and observation scope:

1. Basic meteorological stations: These are stations that carry out meteorological observations in a comprehensive and systematic manner. They are usually equipped with a variety of meteorological observation equipment and are capable of observing a variety of meteorological elements including temperature, humidity, barometric pressure, wind speed, wind direction, precipitation, and so on.

2. Automatic weather stations: These weather stations rely mainly on automated equipment for observation with less human intervention. They can collect and record meteorological data 24 hours a day, and some advanced automatic weather stations can also process and analyse data automatically.

3. High-altitude weather stations: These stations are mainly used to observe the structure of the atmosphere and meteorological conditions at high altitudes. They usually collect data such as temperature, air pressure, humidity, wind speed and direction at high altitude by means of equipment such as weather balloons or drones.

4. Special meteorological stations: These stations are mainly designed for the observation of a particular meteorological phenomenon or climatic condition, such as thunder and lightning observation stations, typhoon observation stations, sandstorm observation stations and so on.

5. mobile weather station: the equipment of this kind of weather station is usually installed in vehicles or ships, which can carry out meteorological observation on the move, and is suitable for disaster rescue, field operation and other special circumstances.

6. marine weather station: this kind of weather station is mainly located in the ocean or coastal areas, specifically for the observation of marine climate and changes in the marine environment.

The above are the main types of weather stations, different types of weather stations have their own specific uses and roles. If you have other needs or questions, we recommend consulting professionals in the relevant fields or reviewing relevant literature for more detailed information.
