Environmental Sensors Target Air Quality
Outdoor air pollution and particulate matter (PM) are classified as Group 1 human carcinogens for lung cancer. Pollutant associations with haematologic cancers are suggestive, but these cancers are aetiologically heterogeneous and sub-type examinations are lacking. Methods The American Cancer Soc...Read more -
USE OF REMOTE WEATHER STATIONS ARE HELPFUL WHEN MONITORING FIRE CONDITIONS
Remote automatic weather stations have been installed recently in Lahaina in areas with invasive grasses that can be vulnerable to wildfires. The technology enables the Division of Forestry and Wildlife (DOFAW) to collect data to predict fire behavior and monitor fire-stoking fuels. These station...Read more -
Weather station networks benefit farmers, others
Farmers are on the lookout for localized weather data. Weather stations, from simple thermometers and rain gauges to complex internet-connected instruments, have long served as tools for gathering data on the current environment. Large-scale networking Farmers in north-central Indiana can benefit...Read more -

National Highways is investing £15.4m in new weather stations as it prepares for the winter season. With winter approaching, National Highways is investing £15.4m in new state-of-the-art network of weather stations, including supporting infrastructure, that will provide real-time data of road con...Read more -
Woods Hole scientists develop new devices to track coastal flooding –water-level sensors
Sea levels in the northeastern United States, including Cape Cod, are expected to rise by about two to three inches between 2022 and 2023. This rate of rise is about 10 times faster than the background rate of sea level rise over the past 30 years, meaning that the rate of sea level rise is accel...Read more -
Flood warning system hydrologic rain meter and so on
By using rainfall data from the past two decades, the flood warning system will identify areas vulnerable to flooding. Currently, more than 200 sectors in India are classified as “major”, “medium” and “minor”. These areas pose a threat to 12,525 properties. To ...Read more -
Theralytic sensor helps farmers manage fertilizer application
Smart sensor technology that will help farmers use fertilizer more efficiently and reduce environmental damage. The technology, described in Natural Foods magazine, can help producers determine the best time to apply fertilizer to crops and the amount of fertilizer needed, taking into account fac...Read more -
Principle and application of wind speed and direction sensor
In today’s environment, resource shortage, environmental deterioration has become a very prominent problem across the country, how to reasonably develop and use renewable energy has become a hot spot of widespread concern. Wind energy as a pollution-free renewable energy has great developme...Read more -
Opportunistic rainfall sensor data to enhance rainfall estimates
Accurate rainfall estimates with high spatiotemporal resolution are vital for urban drainage applications, and if adjusted to ground observations, weather radar data has potential for these applications. The density of meteorological rain gauges for adjustment is, however, often sparse an...Read more
