The relationship between smart agriculture and weather stations

The relationship between smart agriculture and weather stations

Smart agriculture is to use the Internet of Things technology, hardware and software to build an information platform that covers the entire process of agriculture from sowing, production, picking, processing, logistics and transportation, and strengthens the control over each link.

The production of crops is inseparable from the weather, and the meteorological changes cannot be completely controlled. It is inevitable that large-scale meteorological disasters can only be predicted in advance, which is the most difficult to grasp and prevent. In this case, a weather station needs to be built. . In order to be compatible with mountainous areas, hills and other terrains caused by different topography, requirements are put forward for the installation method and hardware of the weather station.

agricultural weather station

    The meteorological monitoring station is an online monitoring terminal that integrates meteorological parameter monitoring, transmission, feedback, preservation, and comparison. The Internet of Things technology is combined with the cloud platform, and is used in scenarios such as meteorology, agricultural conditions, and scientific research and teaching. The weather station is an integrated system that can collect, store, transmit and manage meteorological data, and can simultaneously monitor various environmental factors such as atmospheric conditions, soil conditions, and precipitation online.

    The weather station is composed of sensors for monitoring various meteorological parameters plus poles and power supply equipment. With the Internet of Things cloud platform, it can be viewed and managed in real time by logging in to the cloud platform through a mobile computer. According to the characteristics of crop production, day and night mode and condition combination mode can be selected. Or scene mode, to set daily monitoring data or linkage: ventilation, spraying and other equipment to adjust the production environment, and also to send early warnings for sudden weather or other unexpected situations, to achieve the organic combination of ground observation and meteorological data.

Application of weather station in smart agriculture:

    The application of meteorological stations in smart agriculture plays a major role in the dynamic monitoring of meteorological disasters such as droughts, floods, and cold damage, monitoring the production environment of crops and the formation process and specific changes of meteorological disasters from both macro and micro perspectives. According to the situation, promote the establishment of meteorological disaster monitoring and early warning system, establish standards for the prevention and management of meteorological disasters, realize the degree of control and understanding of the production environment by smart agriculture, and rationally plan production plans.

The role of the weather station:

    The role of the meteorological station is to improve the understanding of the production environment, improve the monitoring and early warning capabilities of meteorological disasters, promote the development of characteristic agricultural industries, and provide effective guarantees for drought resistance and disaster reduction, reduction of agricultural production losses, and improvement of production and economic benefits.

    In general, the weather station is one of the basic equipment for realizing smart agriculture. Both of them apply the Internet of Things technology. The common purpose of mutual cooperation is to develop scientific, intelligent and digital agricultural production.
