National Ambient Air Monitoring Conference 2018

The Air Quality Index in the Portland Area reached "Unhealthy" levels this week.
With our recent expansion into Air Quality, it was fortuitous that the National Ambient Air Monitoring Conference was in Portland this year. Somewhat ironically, with the wildfires across the western United States, the air quality in the Portland metro area has been some of the worst ever. Note the chart showing particulates PM10 and PM2.5, 24-hrAvg, for the past few days from our on-site Orion AQM.
The sun appears to be a deep red as fires from
surrounding areas continue to burn and affect air quality.
The conference drew air quality monitoring agencies
and vendors from all over the country.


One highlight of the conference was seeing the SciArk™ by Envirolytics which features our Magellan MX500™ Weather Station. The SciArk is “a field-deployable, alternate-fuel, EPA certified, zero emissions, solar and wind assisted mobile lab.” 
Envirolytics CEO Alan Joseph shows Nader the SciArk Mobile Lab featuring the MagellanMX 500 Weather Station.
The SciArk utilizes the Weather MicroServer.
For more info, watch the video at https://envirolytics.us/sciark/ (The weather station makes a cameo appearance at about 2:50.) “You have a great product! We couldn’t do what we do without you guys,” said Alan Joseph, CEO.

Our Air Quality Monitoring instruments can be used independently with the Weather MicroServer, and/or in conjunction with additional meteorological sensors. For more information, visit our website.

School Invests in Weather Station for Hands-On Learning

Image
We are always excited when educators invest in giving their students hands-on knowledge of how weather works, how it’s measured, and how it affects them. South River High School in New Jersey does just that. Last year, the school installed a  Capricorn FLX Weather Station  on one of their buildings. The Climate Change Club uses the data to report hourly weather readings to the National Weather Service. 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...
