Intelligent Management of Fully Automated Agro-meteorological Stations

Agricultural production is directly affected by changes in the agro-environment; a favourable agro-environment promotes agricultural prosperity, while unfavourable environmental conditions may hinder agricultural development. Therefore, continuous monitoring of changes in the agricultural environment is essential to ensure the sustainable development of agriculture. This can be achieved by utilising multi-functional automated weather stations, which are capable of detecting agro-environmental factors, when monitoring the agro-environment.

Fully automated agrometeorological stations are able to instantly collect key agro-environmental indicators including air temperature, humidity, light levels, wind speed and direction, and precipitation. This type of system plays an important role in many fields such as meteorological research, facility agriculture, forestry, horticulture and animal husbandry, etc. It not only automatically monitors the comprehensive ecological information of facility agriculture, but also realises the automatic regulation and intelligent management of the environment.

When the system is connected to the computer, it can automatically carry out the regular collection of regional meteorological data, data processing and storage. In addition, the small weather station is also equipped with a data display screen, which makes it easy for users to intuitively view the climate information and export the data to Excel for further editing and analysing, and produce charts according to the needs, thus providing a scientific basis for agricultural decision-making.

The use of weather stations has greatly enhanced the relevance, applicability and timeliness of agricultural weather services. These weather stations are designed to be flexible and capable of accurately measuring a wide range of meteorological environmental parameters, such as air temperature, humidity, light intensity, photosynthetically active radiation and carbon dioxide concentration. They are not only highly accurate, but also have a wide range of applications in specialised fields such as urban environmental monitoring, agricultural production, tourism and meteorology.
