Happy National Weatherperson's Day

Are you a Weatherperson? 🌦️

Do you rely on weather data to make informed decisions for yourself or your team? Whether you’re a plant operator, crew supervisor, or meteorologist, professionals in many industries depend on CWS weather stations to monitor for safety and operational efficiency. That makes YOU a Weatherperson — and today, we celebrate you!

📅 February 5th is National Weatherperson's Day, honoring John Jeffries, one of America's first weather observers. He began daily weather tracking in Boston in 1774 and conducted the first balloon observation in 1784!

We appreciate the dedication of professionals who keep industries moving forward with critical weather insights. At CWS, we are proud to support you with reliable solutions to help make informed decisions. Thank you for your commitment to accurate weather monitoring.

Weather Station Data for Energy Forecasting in Huntington Beach

Image
  The HBEP is one of the cleanest power generation plants in California. Harnessing Weather Data for Energy Forecasting AES is a global energy company that has purchased CWS weather stations for several US project locations since 2012. Ellie Thacker, CWS Technical Sales Engineer, recently got a site tour and sends the following report: The  Huntington Beach Energy Project (HBEP) , located in Huntington Beach, California, began operation in 2020. The HBEP is an 844-megawatt power generation plant that uses a natural gas-fired, combined-cycle turbine and a simple-cycle turbine. The HBEP is one of the cleanest power generation plants in California due to its emissions control equipment. The Challenge Gas-fired turbines run more efficiently when the ambient temperature is lower. When the ambient air is colder, it is denser, which means more air can fit in the given volume that passes through the machinery. Relative humidity also affects the efficiency of the turbines.

Imagine a Day Without Water 2024

Image
On October 17th, we join communities across the U.S. to recognize Imagine a Day Without Water , a day to highlight the importance of safe, accessible water—our most valuable resource. This resource wouldn't be possible without local water reclamation operations like Bloomington-Normal in Illinois. Committed to protect public health and the environment, they have won 12 Gold Peak Performance Awards from the NACWA and the 2018 Plant of the Year award from the Illinois Association of Water Pollution Control Operators. The plant relies on five Orion™ Weather Stations to monitor on-site conditions at the district’s water treatment locations for regulatory reporting.
