Can LoRaWAN Networks Transform the Indian Meteorological Department into a World Leader in the Fight Against Global Warming?

Advantages of LoRaWAN Star-on-Star vs. LTE, GSM, NB-IoT, CAT-M1 and others:

  • Extend wireless network coverage 10+ km past existing LTE, GSM, NB-IoT, CAT-M1 coverage with LoRaWAN LTE gateways

  • LoRaWAN gateway affordability ensures deployment of double and triple-redundant wireless networks affordably due to its Star-on-Star approach vs. mesh networking.

  • Meteorological sensor nodes communicate with multiple gateways, ensuring reliability of wireless data transmission and interference resistance. In case of a gateway failure, data is automatically rerouted via other gateways.

  • LoRaWAN networks allow the addition of unlimited nodes without rebuilding the wireless infrastructure.

  • LoRaWAN networks naturally permit network expansion and do not require trained personnel in the field to support network operation since gateways act as only message forwarders (data pass-through) and sensor nodes do not join/pair with gateways, but directly with the application running at the Met Department.

COMPTUS Inc. a HUBZone Certified Business Showcases BARANI DESIGN at AMS 2020

MeteoShield® and MeteoWind® 2 weather station sensors at AMS 2020 by Comptus Inc. of New Hampshire

COMPTUS Inc. of New Hampshire, a manufacturer and distributor of meteorological instruments, weather stations and sensors has on display BARANI DESIGN Technologies MeteoShield® Professional, MeteoWind® 2 and MeteoHelix® IoT micro-weather stations capable of meeting strict measurement guidelines of the NWS and WMO for long-term climatic observations of global warming. Known for their quality and affordability, these sensors and weather stations represent the state of the art that the world of meteorology has to offer for synoptic measurement.

Comptus Inc. has stand 341 at the 100th AMS Annual Meeting 14–16 January 2020 at Boston Convention and Exhibition Center, 415 Summer St., Boston, MA, USA.

Other sensors on hand from BARANI DESIGN Technologies will include the precise and robust and MeteoWind® Compact combined anemometer and wind vane with a preliminary MEASNET/IEC 61400-12-1:2017 edition 2 class A = 4.4 and class C = 4.7 along with the MeteoTemp™ temperature and humidity probe for professional AWOS weather stations.

New Meteorological Sensor Technologies at AMS 2020

New technologies at AMS 2020 by Comptus Inc. of New Hampshire.

Internet-of-Things innovation will be seeping into the forefront of AMS 2020 in Boston, MA this winter with the introduction of MeteoHelix® IoT micro-weather stations capable of meeting strict measurement guidelines of the NWS and WMO for long-term global warming observations.

While Europe has already adapted the first wave of low cost IoT meteorological sensors and weather stations with mixed results, the lessons learned can benefit the adoption of these technologies to let USA take the lead. Lessons learned from the first wave of IoT meteorological sensors have shown that data quantity does not replace data quality. Artificial intelligence (AI) and advanced statistical methods made good on identifying anomalies and sensor failures but fall short in compensating for systematic and long-term sensor measurement errors due to inadequate measurement system stability and the influences of the local environment. For now, the golden rule of science, “garbage in = garbage out” still maintains its merit.

Comptus Inc. of stand 341 will showcase the MeteoHelix® IoT professional weather stations and sensors conforming to NWS and WMO standards from BARANI DESIGN Technologies at the 100th AMS Annual Meeting 13–16 January 2020 in the Boston Convention and Exhibition Center, 415 Summer St., Boston, MA USA.

Other sensors on hand from BARANI DESIGN Technologies will include the precise and robust MeteoWind® 2 and MeteoWind® Compact combined heated anemometers with wind vanes with a preliminary MEASNET/IEC 61400-12-1:2017 edition 2 class A = 4.4 and class C = 4.7. Also showcased will be the MeteoTemp™ temperature and humidity probe and the new standard for precision atmospheric air temperature measurement, the MeteoShield® Professional, a helical radiation shield for professional AWOS weather stations.
