Weather Stations
At PCE Instruments you will find a wide range of weather stations. These weather stations are used both indoors and outdoors for measuring humidity, temperature, wind speed and air pressure. We offer different weather stations in handheld and tabletop versions, environmental meters and measurement converters for industrial applications. Some weather stations can also automatically count dew point or calculate it at a later date with the ability to store data for analysis on a computer after measurements have been taken. Weather stations are very important in industrial processes, warehouses, and of course in the private sector, such as in a house to determine interior and exterior climate and humidity within the walls. For these reasons we recommend using weather stations for testing and making the right decisions knowing all the correct knowledge. If you can't find the weather stations you are looking for, please contact us and we will help you find the best solution to suit your needs by calling our offices on: UK customers +44(0) 23 809 870 30 / US customers (561) 320-9162 and our technical staff will advise you regarding our measuring instruments.

All weather stations are calibrated and can also have an optional calibration to be certified to meet DIN EN ISO standards. The ISO calibration for weather stations consists of a laboratory calibration according to a measurement protocol and an ISO certification. For companies that wish to integrate weather stations into their internal quality control system of for doing annual recalibrations. The ISO certificate includes a laboratory calibration and a document containing weather stations measurement values as well as the name and the details of the company or the client that orders the device. Weather stations sensors are classified as long term stable so an annual or regular calibration will not be required. Some special adjustments in our weather stations can be performed for the industrial sector (change of sensors, sintered filters, to stretch diverse connections, etc). If you wish to make a special measure or if you have problems with your weather stations, please do not hesitate to get in contact with us and our technicians and engineers will be available to help you in order to find the best solution.

Weather stations are formed by different meters to measure meteorological elements and they are used for weather observation. Weather stations are mainly used to measure and forecast State weather conditions however they can be also used for private measurements. There are differences between digital and analogue weather stations. Analogue weather stations are Weather stationsd in "meteorological shelters" (also known as Stevenson's thermometer shelters) which are small weather-resistant wooden or plastic boxes to protect measuring instruments not only against rain and dirt but also they provide accurate measuring values. Meteorological shelters allow air to flow inside them and they are usually painted white to protect temperature values against direct sun light. If the boxes were painted with dark colors, they would absorb more radiation transferring it inside the shelter so this would increase internal temperature in relation to the external one so the meteorological shelter would always register high temperature values. To compare weather station values they have to be Weather stationsd 2 meters on the floor and 10 meters from the nearest tree and exposed to wind and sun during all day. Weather stations normally come with a psychrometer, a thermometer with max. and min. values and a hygrothermogram . Also outside the meteorological shelter a pluviometer and an anemometer are Weather stationsd. Modern weather stations can also measure global solar radiation, sunlight duration and some special values such as the floor evaporating temperature. Analogue weather stations do not need to be powered via the mains and to get accurate results. The disadvantage is that meteorological values can be only registered manually instead of stored at regular intervals and then collected on a daily or weekly basis.

The state of the art in the Weather stations sector offers a real time weather forecast system . Weather stations results with this forecast system are calculated by a group of meteorologists who work for "Wetter-Online". Sometimes in a day, a free automatic satellite sign with weather conditions for 90 regions in Europe is sent. So you will have always current and detailed weather details. The advantage is that these forecasts are regional and very accurate.

What is the relationship between weather and atmospheric pressure in weather stations?

Different atmospheric pressure conditions appear when air mass rises with different force in different Weather stationss of Earth. This occurs due to the fact that the Sun heats up air mass in the equator quicker than in both Poles. Solar heating decreases gradually form the equator to the Poles. Air mass from the equator descends in those areas which are far from equator where air is not as warm as in other Weather stationss. The air in these areas is disWeather stationsd by the air which comes from the equator that descends when it is cold. In those regions it doesn't rain a lot due to the fact that descended air mass is then heated by pressure so clouds cannot be created in these areas and any clouds are then dispersed. There are three great air mass systems from the equator to the Poles. These air mass systems are continuously ascending and descending. Anticyclones and disturbances are created by earth's rotation. A disturbance means that air is ascending so clouds are formed due to the fact that air contains water moisture that becomes water drops when temperature descends (weather stations show cloud formation and rain). An anticyclone means that air at ground level is disWeather stationsd in all directions by high pressure (also weather stations show the wind). In those regions where there is an anticyclone air mass descends at ground level. When it descends, air is heated and this air can absorb more humidity and clouds are dissolved. As a result, we will have clear sky and sun. Many weather stations use atmospheric pressure to determine weather forecast.

Weather stations are not only used for global purposes but also for local ones. Although weather stations show current meteorological details in a very easy way they can be also used for a long-term observation, the analysis of the registered values as well as for reactions or predicitons when certain circumstances exist. Weather stations can be connected to a computer and software can be used for analysis. Weather stations have a wide range of applications such as private or industrial ones. Apart from measuring internal temperature and environmental humidity, other sensors can be used to determine wind direction, wind speed, etc. Weather stations transmitters have a range of 100 m (without any obstacle). All the sensors are automatically detected by weather stations, so they can be used instantaneously. Weather stations display their results through their great displays, current meteorological values and weather evolution (for example: barometric tendency) are displayed on screen. Meteorological data can be registered by means of the analysis software. All meteorological details can be transferred to a PC or a computer. Weather stations are used to observe and analyse meteorological data as well as to react when meteorological changes occur.

What are weather stations?

Weather stations are Weather stationss where meteorological measurements and observations of the different meteorological parameters using suitable instruments to establish an atmospheric behavior.

Below, you will find a classification of the general characteristic of weather stations according to technical standards:

 - Pluviometric stations: Weather stations with a pluviometer or other recipient which allows to measure the amount of rain between two
   consecutive measurements.

 - Pluviographic stations: when weather stations can make automatic and continuous rainfall registrations. The amount of water, intensity,
   duration and period of rain can be known.

 - Main weather stations: to make observations of atmospheric conditions in order to provide information to make weather forecasts and to study
   the weather and climate. The measurements taken include temperature, barometric pressure, humidity, wind speed, wind direction, and
   precipitation amounts. Wind measurements are taken, free of other obstructions as possible, while temperature and humidity measurements
   are kept free from direct solar radiation, or isolation.  They are normally taken three different observations per day.

 - Ordinary weather stations: They must be provided with a psycrometer, pluviometer and a pluviograph to measure rainfalls and temperature
   instantaneously.  

 - Main synoptic stations: These stations are used for important meteorological elements observations during international connectivity hours.
   Meteorological information is taken every hour: cloudiness, wind speed and wind direction, atmospheric pressure, air temperature, clouds high
   and types, visibility, special phenomena, humidity, rainfalls, cloud layers, wind course, atmospheric phenomena sequence. The information is
   encoded and interchanged through the different World Meteorological Centers for weather forecast and also for the aviation service.

 - Additional synoptic stations: Observations are also done during international connectivity hours. Meteorological information is related to:
   visibility, special phenomena, atmospheric weather, cloudiness, state of ground, rainfalls, air temperature and humidity, wind, etc.

 - Agrometeorological stations: They are used for both meteorological and biological observations and any other observation which help to
   determine relations between weather and climate as well as between the life of animals and the life of plants. They have the same observations
   programs as main weather stations.
