UltraSens weather stations developed for measuring and recording in remote areas, operates as a completely self contained system and transmit weather data wirelessly.

Consists of a console unit and an innovative integrated sensor suite that includes a rain collector with self-emptying bucket, temperature and humidity sensors, solar radiation and UV sensors and an anemometer. The sensor suite is housed inside a 24-hour fan-aspirated radiation shield, protecting the sensors against solar radiation.

You'll get forecasting, on-screen graphing, and much more. Quick view icons show the forecast at a glance (sunny, partly sunny, cloudy, rain or snow) barometric pressure trend, inside temperature, dew point, humidity information, time and date, and much more.

Data logger and software package also allows you to post data to the Internet, you can see our weather station data.

Features:

• No power is required. The solar/battery supply will power the system continuously.
• The record rate is user selectable from once a minute to once a day.
• The non-volatile RAM will store over one year of data at a one hour record rate.
• Windows™ based data retrieval software is provided for downloading stored data.
• Remote accessing through TCP/IP or modem connection.
• Provides accurate weather data in a sophisticated yet easy-to-read format.
• Weather information includes inside/outside temperature and humidity, rainfall amount, wind speed, wind direction and wind chill factor and barometric pressure.
• Additional weather information includes barometric pressure trend, heat index, dew point, time of sunrise and sunset, moon phase, forecasting icons and much more.
• Rain collector is self-emptying aluminum-plated tipping bucket reading rainfall in 0.01" or 0.2 mm increments.
  

Measures and records:

• Temperature - Outside and Inside temperature sensors. Outside sensor is vented and shielded to minimize the solar radiation induced temperature error. Additional sensors can measure up to eight locations.
• Apparent Temperatures - Apparent temperatures use additional weather data to calculate what a human body perceives the temperature to be in those conditions. Calculates three apparent temperature readings: Wind Chill (takes into account how the speed of the wind affects our perception of the air temperature), Heat Index (uses temperature and relative humidity to determine how hot air actually "feels") and Temperature/Humidity/Sun/Wind - THSW Index (like for Heat Index, but also includes the heating effects of sunshine and cooling effects of wind).
• Humidity - Itself refers to the amount of water vapor in the air. However, the total humidity varies with air temperature and pressure. Relative humidity takes into account these factors and offers a humidity reading which reflects the amount of water vapor in the air as a percentage of the amount the air is capable of holding.
• Dew Point - Is the temperature to which air must be cooled for saturation (100% relative humidity) to occur. Is a good indicator of the air's actual water vapor content, unlike relative humidity, which takes the air's temperature into account.
• Wind - The anemometer measures wind speed and direction. Weather stations calculates a 10-minute average wind speed and 10-minute dominant wind direction.
• Rain - Rain rate calculations based on the interval of time between each tip of the bucket, which is each 0.01" rainfall increment or 0.2mm.
• Barometric Pressure - The weight of the air that makes up our atmosphere exerts on the surface of the earth. Generall, the more air above an area, the higher the atmospheric pressure, this means that atmospheric pressure changes with altitude. Barometric pressure also changes with weather conditions, making it an extremely important and useful weather forecasting tool. High pressures zones are generally associated with fair weather while low pressure zones are generally associated with poor weather.
• Solar Radiation - Technically known as Global Solar Radiation, a measure of the intensity of the sun's radiation reaching a horizontal surface. Expressed in Watts/sq.meter (W/m²).
• UV Radiation -Ultra Violet radiation is a component of the energy from the sun reaches the earth. Exposure to UV rays can cause numerous health problems, such as sunburn, skin cancer, skin aging, cataracts, and can suppress the immune system.
• UV Index - An intensity measurement first defined by Environment Canada and since adopted by the World Meteorological Organization. UV assigns a number between 0 and 16 to the current UV intensity (0-2 Low; 3-4 Moderate; 5-6 High; 7-9 Very High; 10+ Extreme).
• Evapotranspiration (ET) - is a measurement of the amount of water vapor returned to the air in a given area. It combines the amount of water vapor returned through evaporation (from wet surfaces) with the amount of water vapor returned through transpiration (exhaling of moisture through plant stomata) to arrive at a total. Effectively, ET is the opposite of rainfall. Weather stations uses air temperature, relative humidity, average wind speed, and solar radiation data to estimate ET, which is calculated once an hour on the hour.
