What are the types of weather sensors?

With the continuous development of meteorological modernization, various types of meteorological sensors are also emerging. Various types of sensors can be found in the fields of agriculture, industry, forestry and scientific research. In the field of meteorological observation, what types of meteorological sensors are there? There are sensors for monitoring soil temperature and humidity, as well as sensors for monitoring air temperature, atmospheric pressure, and ultraviolet intensity. Next, let's take a brief look at the relevant types!

What types of weather sensors are there?

Generally, it includes dozens of different types such as air temperature and humidity sensors, rainfall sensors, snowfall sensors, total solar radiation sensors, noise sensors, soil pH sensors, soil temperature and humidity sensors, and soil nutrient sensors.

1. Air temperature and humidity sensor

The sensor is composed of humidity sensitive and thermal elements, and is often used to measure temperature and humidity. Air temperature and humidity sensors can convert temperature and humidity signals into current signals or voltage signals for people to identify. Generally widely used in food industry, tobacco industry, industrial control industry, greenhouse, animal and plant breeding and other fields.

2. Rainfall sensor

This type of sensor can automatically measure the amount of precipitation, and count the start and end time of precipitation, the intensity of precipitation and other information. There are various types of rainfall sensors, such as tipping bucket rainfall sensors, piezoelectric energy rainfall sensors and so on. The equipment is widely used in agriculture, road traffic, forestry, hydrological monitoring and other fields.

3. Solar radiation sensor

The RS-RA Photoelectric total solar radiation sensor (RS-RA Photoelectric total solar radiation sensor) is a sensor used to monitor the total solar radiation. The total solar radiation sensor is an important ground meteorological observation instrument, and it is also an indispensable equipment in the field of solar resource census and photovoltaic power station operation monitoring. It is widely used in solar energy utilization, meteorology, agriculture, aging of building materials and air pollution to measure solar radiation energy.
