Georgia has successfully installed a number of advanced 7-in-1 weather stations in and around the capital Tbilisi, marking an important step in the country’s meteorological monitoring and forecasting capabilities. These new weather stations, supplied by internationally renowned weather equipment manufacturers, combine a number of cutting-edge technologies to provide more accurate and comprehensive weather data.
The installation of the 7-in-1 weather station integrates seven major weather monitoring functions, including:
1. Temperature and humidity monitoring:
It can monitor atmospheric temperature and relative humidity in real time and provide basic data for weather forecasting.
2. Pressure measurement:
Accurately measure atmospheric pressure to help predict weather changes.
3. Wind speed and direction monitoring:
Through high-sensitivity sensors, real-time monitoring of wind speed and direction provides important data for aviation, agriculture and other fields.
4. Rainfall Measurement:
Equipped with a high-precision rain gauge that accurately measures rainfall to help assess flood risk.
5. Solar radiation monitoring:
The solar radiation intensity is monitored to provide reference for solar power generation and agricultural planting.
6. Uv Index measurement:
Provide UV index information to help the public take better measures against sun protection.
7. Visibility monitoring:
Through advanced laser technology, atmospheric visibility is monitored to provide security for traffic and aviation safety.
Installation process and technical support
The installation of the weather station was carried out by the Georgia National Meteorological Service in cooperation with several international meteorological technology companies. The installation team overcame difficulties such as complex terrain and changing climate to ensure the smooth installation and commissioning of the equipment. Using the latest Internet of Things technology, the weather station is able to transmit real-time data to the National Meteorological data Center through a wireless network to achieve rapid data processing and analysis.
Improving weather forecasting capabilities
George Machavariani, director of Georgia’s National Weather Service, said in an interview: “The installation of the 7-in-1 weather station will significantly enhance our country’s meteorological monitoring and forecasting capabilities. “These advanced devices will provide us with more accurate and comprehensive meteorological data to help us better cope with extreme weather events and protect people’s lives and property.”
Impact on social and economic development
The use of the new weather station will not only help improve the accuracy of weather forecasts, but also have a positive impact on Georgia’s agriculture, energy, transportation and other fields. For example, accurate weather data can help farmers better organize their farming activities and increase crop yields. Energy companies can optimize solar power generation plans based on solar radiation data; Traffic authorities can use visibility data to ensure road safety.
Details of the installation location
1. Tbilisi city centre weather station
Location: Near the Holy Trinity Cathedral in central Tbilisi
Features: The location is the core area of the city, densely populated and heavy traffic. The weather station installed here is mainly used to monitor the urban heat island effect and air pollution, and provide data support for urban environmental management.
Equipment: In addition to the standard 7-in-1 meteorological monitoring equipment, it is also equipped with an air quality monitor, which can monitor the concentration of pollutants such as PM2.5 and PM10 in real time.
2. Meteorological station in the Mkheta Historic Site area
Location: Mkheta, World Heritage Site
Features: The region is the historical and cultural center of Georgia, with many old religious buildings. The installation of the weather stations is designed to protect these historic sites from extreme weather.
Equipment: Specially equipped with wind speed and direction sensors to monitor strong winds that may pose a threat to historic buildings.
3. Meteorological station in the Agricultural region of Kahti Oblast
Location: The main wine-growing region of Kahej State
Features: The region is one of the most important agricultural regions of Georgia, known for its viticulture and winemaking. Data from weather stations will help farmers optimize irrigation and fertilization plans to increase crop yields.
Equipment: Rainfall and soil moisture sensors have been installed to better manage water resources.
4. Weather station in the Caucasus Mountains Nature Reserve
Location: Within the Caucasus Mountains National Park
Features: The region is a biodiversity hotspot with rich plant and animal resources. Data from weather stations will be used to monitor the impact of climate change on ecosystems.
Equipment: Equipped with solar radiation and ultraviolet index sensors to assess the impact of climate change on the alpine ecosystem.
5. Batumi coastal weather stations
Location: Batumi on the Black Sea coast
Features: The region is a popular tourist destination in Georgia and faces challenges brought about by Marine climate change. The weather stations will provide Marine and land meteorological data to help manage coastal environments and tourism activities.
Equipment: Visibility sensors have been specially installed to monitor the impact of sea fog on maritime traffic and coastal tourism.
6. Mountain meteorological station of the Autonomous Republic of Azare
Location: Mountainous region of the Autonomous Republic of Azhar
Features: The region has complex terrain and changeable climate. Data from the weather stations will be used to monitor weather changes in mountainous areas and prevent natural disasters.
Equipment: Rainfall and snow depth sensors have been installed to monitor precipitation and snow cover and prevent flash floods and avalanches.
7. Weather station in Kutaisi Industrial Zone
Location: Industrial area of Kutaisi City
Features: The region is the industrial center of Georgia, with several large factories. Data from weather stations will be used to assess the impact of industrial activities on the environment.
Equipment: Equipped with air quality monitors to monitor the impact of industrial emissions on air quality.
Future outlook
In the next few years, Georgia plans to further expand the coverage of weather stations and establish a more complete weather monitoring network across the country. In addition, the National Weather Service also plans to cooperate with neighboring countries to share meteorological data and jointly cope with the challenges brought by climate change.
The installation of the 7-in-1 weather station is an important step on the road of meteorological modernization in Georgia and will provide strong support for the country’s socio-economic development.
