It’s always great to hear from long-time customers like Jackson Bottom Wetlands Preserve . A recent exchange included the following comments and provided us with updated information on their application. “We have LOVED and depended on that weather system for many, many years and I am grateful to have it still gathering data for us on a daily basis. Not only does Frank Opila rely on the our weather station for his water quality monitoring work, my program staff as well as my key researchers use the data as well.” ~Lori Prince, Outdoor Recreation Manager Click for more on Jackson Bottom Wetlands Preserve Viewing current weather data via Weather Underground.

According to their website, Central Utah Water Conservancy District (CUWCD) is "proud of its role in managing the water in its jurisdiction and using technology, intelligence and hard work to ensure the best possible balance for man and nature.” As part of this management and use of technology, Orion Weather Stations are located at Jordanelle Dam and Utah Lake Pumping Station with three more soon to be delivered. The weather monitoring systems include the Orion all-in-one sensor unit as well as Weather MicroServers with additional tipping bucket rain gauge and solar radiation sensors. Weather data is used for modeling historical data for future planning, operational decisions, and available to the public for recreation planning. CLICK FOR MORE INFORMATION

Responding to customer request, we have added an ambient Carbon Dioxide (CO2) Sensor for use with the Weather MicroServer. This new feature was implemented specifically for an Apple data center via customer Siemens Building Technologies . The CO2 sensor uses an infrared light source to measure ppm-level carbon dioxide. The sensor is configured for analog output.The sensor is installed in a self-aspirating radiation shield to protect it from the effects of solar radiation. The sensor should be installed in a location that represents ambient atmospheric CO2 levels. GO TO WEATHER MICROSERVER, CLICK ON ADDITIONAL SENSORS SEE OTHER DATA CENTERS APPLICATION PAGE

"Weather conditions are the single largest variable factor in how sound travels over large distances," says Steve Bilawchuk, principal partner and engineer at ACI Acoustical Consultants Inc in Alberta, Canada. The company incorporates Orion LX weather stations in their system to conduct environmental noise monitoring for things like road noise, rail noise, and industrial noise. "Having a portable weather monitoring station gives us the flexibility to set up wherever we need and gives us very localized data. The equipment is typically set-up, locked, and left to run un-attended in the field for as little as 24-hours and as long as a few months at any one location."

When Madonna University purchased a Capricorn 2000EX , Professor Asaad Istephan requested a PowerPoint® presentation to help spread the word. We created this one to highlight all the features of their configuration which includes a Weather MicroServer and WeatherMaster Software . While it is our business to be on the cutting-edge of weather monitoring technology, it is tough to keep pace with ever-changing social media. Today we are learning about SlideShare , a free website/application for sharing slide presentations on the Internet as well as embedding them on your own website. Check out our results.

All weather stations manufactured by Columbia Weather Systems can now be integrated into PROFIBUS®, PROFINET® and LonWorks® networks. Interoperability is critical in many applications where weather monitoring is one component of a large automation control system such as process control, building or industrial automation, Adding these popular communication options allows managers invested with these systems to optimize their use of meteorological data for environmental monitoring and device control.
