Factors That Affect The Value Of Weather Monitoring System
                     Factors That Affect The 
Value Of Weather 
Monitoring System
The relative performance of a weather monitoring system is 
influenced by a variety of factors, including:
Your particular measurement requirements define your 
performance. If you’re measuring at a remote place where you 
won’t be able to access the site on a regular basis, for example, 
you’ll need incredibly durable gear. If people’s lives are at risk, 
robust weather monitoring technology is also required (for 
example, if a sensor fails and a flash flood is not spotted, 
people’s lives may be jeopardised). As a result, the relative 
performance of a weather monitoring system will be driven by 
its robustness in certain conditions.

1. You may be a climatologist who 
studies the consequences of climate 
change by monitoring air temperature. 
If that’s the case, you’ll need a long-
term, precise record of air 
temperature. In this situation, the 
performance of a weather station or 
weather monitoring solution is 
influenced by its accuracy and stability 
in relation to your measurement 
requirements.

2. If you’re managing a large network of 
remote weather stations, and the cost of a 
field trip for maintenance and installation 
is significant, dwarfing the cost of 
purchasing the equipment in the first 
place, it’s possible that the instrument’s 
maintenance requirements are driving the 
performance of your application.

3. Specialized measures are frequently 
required by researchers. To address the 
research topic, you may require more than 
standard meteorological measurements 
like air temperature, humidity, and rainfall. 
The type of measurement suite comprising 
the specialised measurements you require 
is what drives the weather station’s 
performance in this scenario.

4. Three-season vs. four-season 
capabilities are available on some 
platforms. In high-latitude winters, four-
season systems can function and provide 
reliable findings because they are heated. 
You’ll need a heated rain gauge that can 
capture snow precipitation if you’re 
investigating wintertime precipitation. A 
four-season approach, on the other hand, 
isn’t significant if you’re performing an 
agricultural research because plants aren’t 
growing.

If you’re monitoring from a remote 
location, you’ll need a battery-powered 
device with low power consumption to cut 
down on travel time and costs. Typical 
weather monitoring parameters include:
● Air Quality Due to Solar Radiation
● Visibility of Wind Speed and Direction
● Frost and fog are two types of fog
● Temperature and relative humidity
● Pressure at the surface of the earth
● Temperature and Soil Moisture
● Rainfall
