Automated Weather Monitoring System
Project Area of Specialization Information & Communication TechnologyProject SummaryIn this proposal we have proposed a low-cost automatic weather monitoring system with software application for monitoring, logging and web hosting facilities. It is capable of calculating temperature, rain, humidity, atmospheric pressure. The proposed system is very useful due to low budget, high accuracy, and user-friendly interface along-with low maintenance charges. In future one can add a few more sensors like UV Sensors, Anemometer etc. Low-cost systems can give a good resolution and accuracy of environmental parameters over a wide area, for making more accurate forecasting and study of weather patterns more accurate and easier.
Project ObjectivesOur Objectives:
? The proposed system will measure the parameters of the weather by low-cost digital sensors and communicate these values to a computer system via GSM Module.
? To develop an Automatic Weather Monitoring System that will automatically transmit or record observations obtained from sensors.
? To design the database for storing the obtained observation from sensors.
? To make graphical user interface (GUI) for end-user.
Project Implementation MethodThis project presents a design of Automatic weather monitoring system. It is devoted to development of a hardware and software system for monitoring weather conditions. The hardware part of this project is Arduino UNO (micro-processor) which acts as a gateway to collect data and information through different sensors such as temperature, humidity, atmospheric pressure, amount of rainfall. Stored data from Arduino will be sent to the server by means of GSM Module. The software part consists of two programs: Firstly, the data from GSM Module is converted into readable format (txt file) and stored into database. Secondly, the data is extracted from database and shown to the end-user through GUI.
Benefits of the ProjectThe proposed system will measure the parameters of the weather by low-cost digital sensors and communicate these values to a computer system via GSM Module. And then it will display the information in a graphical application and host it on the web.
Technical Details of Final DeliverableThe climate change is one of the most important factors affecting the quality of life and the activity of the increasingly population. The current means of meteorological parameters data collection are indeed rather limited and make use of some very expensive weather stations, leading to a lack of comprehensively monitoring due to cost constraints and inconveniences. Nevertheless, the acquisition of comprehensive meteorological data is the prerequisite condition for the accuracy of weather forecast. If there is not enough data gathered of meteorological parameters, the publicly available information about weather forecast would be inaccurate. Typical weather stations have the following instruments:
? Thermometer for measuring air temperature.
? Barometer for measuring atmospheric pressure.
? Hygrometer for measuring humidity.
? Anemometer for measuring wind speed.
? Wind Vane sensor for the detection of Wind Direction.
