We're happy to see a Pulsar 600™ Weather Station in action with Zipline, one of our customers, in Mark Rober’s latest video! A popular YouTube personality and former NASA engineer, Mark's viral video highlights how Zipline’s autonomous drone technology delivers critical medical supplies in countries with limited access to resources. The Pulsar 600 weather station measures temperature, relative humidity, precipitation type/intensity, rain, pressure, and wind speed/direction. Pulsar models offer the ease of an all-in-one sensor head with several met parameter configurations to choose from. They are used in operations that require precise weather monitoring, such as satellite communications, broadcast, and transportation. We're proud to provide top-notch technology to support our customers' innovative solutions!   Visit Zipline's Website More About Pulsar Weather Stations

St. Patrick's Day: Green things in the Weather World

Image
Happy St. Patrick’s Day! 🍀 In honor of today’s popular hue, here’s a list of  four green things  in the weather world: 1. Northern Lights/Aurora The ethereal displays at the north and south poles are a result of disturbances in the magnetosphere caused by solar wind. Green is the most common color we see due to charged particles hitting oxygen atoms in the atmosphere. 2. Stormy green skies Eerily green skies are sometimes witnessed in the vicinity of severe storms. When air becomes charged with electricity (ionized), it can cause refracted light filtered through particles in the air to shift to shorter, more blue wavelengths, resulting in a greenish hue to the sky. (PC: Jaden K. @jkarmill) 3. Green flash This meteorological optical phenomena can occur at sunset and sunrise when conditions are just right. Refracted light through the atmosphere can cause a very brief, green “flash” as the sun rises above and dips below the horizon. (PC: Brocken Inaglory, CC BY-SA 3.0) 4. Green on radar
