After Hurricane Irma, the Boca Raton Fire Department turned to CWS for accurate weather data in preparation for future storms. With a network of Orion™ Weather Stations utilizing the CWS Cloud Weather Server, the Boca Emergency Operations Center is now able to determine whether it is safe to send out First Responders in risky weather conditions. Thanks WPTV for the highlight!

This exciting new video  created by our interns gives a look into our Pulsar Weather Stations. The Pulsar line features durable, electronic sensors, incorporating various meteorological parameters in a compact, all-in-one sensor head. “(This is) the best technology when it comes to data collection for weather,” says Paul Deanno, Meteorologist at KPIX San Francisco . Some parameters are unique to respective models, including lightning detection, solar radiation, and precipitation type. 

Universal Space Network, Inc. (USN) provides ground network services that support telemetry, tracking and control, and data downlink operations for satellites and launch systems. USN uses Orion LX Weather Stations at their operation sites in Hawaii, Alaska, and Australia. “We use the weather station at our satellite tracking stations to monitor wind speed, barometric pressure and precipitation,” says Don Gittle, Ground Systems Manager. “If wind speed is too high, it could affect the tracking performance of our large dish antennas. This helps us protect satellite data. The other parameters help with determining the atmospheric conditions that are useful for correcting very accurate tracking data supplied to our customer.” For more information: Orion Weather Stations Universal Space Network
