CO2 = profits; water vapor = climate change

Why is the most significant greenhouse gas water vapor and not CO₂?

Water vapor is not officially considered to be a cause of man-made global warming because it is abundant and CO₂ is much more convenient to measure, regulate and tax. The fact that water vapor does not persist in the atmosphere for more than a few days, makes its concentrations highly variable and harder to quantify on a global scale without good quality weather networks everywhere. Its concentrations can reach 100 times that of CO₂ and its ability to trap heat is double. Additionally, fog and clouds reflect and absorb immense amounts of incoming solar radiation and moderate climatic temperatures. The water cycle reduces temperature extremes and redistributes heat throughout earth’s climates.

Strategic partnership of BARANI DESIGN Technologies and Comptus Inc. of USA

BARANI DESIGN Technologies and Comptus Inc. of USA strategic partnership announced.

BARANI DESIGN Technologies of Slovakia will create a strategic partnership with Comptus Inc. of USA, who is one of the only two producers of the most widely used anemometer for wind energy applications worldwide. The immediate benefits of this partnership will include:

• MeteoShield® Professional will be soon available in a Made-in-USA version

• MeteoHelix® IoT Pro micro weather stations will soon be available in Assembled-in-USA LoRaWAN and Sigfox version with NB-IoT to follow

• Comptus Inc. will become a USA & worldwide distributor and integrator of BARANI DESIGN anemometers, weather stations and sensors

• BARANI DESIGN will become a worldwide distributor of the A75-101 & A75-104 anemometer and A75-302 wind direction vane, the direct equivalents of the well known NRG #40 anemometer and NRG #200 wind vane. These products were also sold through Second Wind and Vaisala as the C3 anemometer and PV1 wind vane

In a technology sharing program, both companies will join forces to develop a low-cost wireless precision wind measurement solution to complement the MeteoHelix® IoT Pro wireless weather stations and to directly compete in the high-end and middle market segments in agricultural weather station applications. The MeteoHelix® and MeteoWind® Compact combination will become the only affordably priced weather station solution to meet the Wold Meteorological Organization (WMO) measurement standards. This meteorological sensor solution is aimed at putting precision back into precision agriculture which is currently being dominated by measurement equipment not conforming to worldwide measurement standards.
