New Pulsar™ Weather Station Integrated into Mobile Weather Lab

The new Pulsar™ Weather Station from Columbia Weather Systems is a critical component in the latest Mobile Weather Lab by Integrated Microwave Technologies (IMT), an industry leader in advanced digital microwave video systems. IMT will be showcasing their latest broadcast vehicle technology at the NABShow National Association of Broadcasters event in April.

The Mobile Weather Lab vehicle is a functional live broadcasting truck complete with video cameras, large monitor, wireless broadband Internet and digital microwave connectivity. The weather station system includes a Weather Display console from Columbia Weather.

The weather lab uses the Pulsar 600 Weather Station with Doppler radar precipitation, temperature, humidity, pressure, and ultrasonic wind measurements. The new Pulsar line of weather stations offers the ease of all-in-one sensor module with various meteorological parameters to choose from. All configurations include an electronic compass for automatic orientation of wind direction.

IMT-built mobile weather labs are being used at CBS affiliates in San Francisco and Philadelphia. “This vehicle is top-notch from top to bottom,” notes KPIX chief meteorologist Paul Deanno. “This white stick (the Pulsar sensor module) is the best technology when it comes to data collection for weather.”

According to their website: “This will make South River High School a weather hub for pilots to collect current weather conditions of our area. The information that the club collects will also be archived for climate change data.” Administrator Kamila Miazio added that the club “provides a weekly forecast, satellite imagery of CONUS, and severe weather updates. The advisor is working to teach students METAR code (the weather code that pilots use to see current weather conditions for the area), report an hourly automatic observation with the weather equipment, record the data and report i
