Field Monitoring Equipment for Meteorology

Field monitoring equipment for meteorology, hydrology and hydrodynamics is a series of professional instrument combinations used for real-time monitoring and data acquisition of meteorological, hydrological and hydrodynamic related parameters in the field environment.

It usually includes meteorological monitoring stations, hydrological monitoring stations and hydrodynamic monitoring stations.

Meteorological monitoring station
It usually includes automatic weather stations - which can measure basic meteorological parameters such as air temperature, air pressure, relative humidity, wind direction, wind speed, and precipitation.
There is also a solar radiometer: used to measure the intensity of solar radiation, including total radiation, direct radiation, scattered radiation, etc., which is of great significance for studying surface energy balance and climate change.

Hydrological monitoring station
The main equipment includes water level gauges - which measure the water level changes of rivers, lakes, reservoirs and other water bodies. Common ones are pressure water level gauges, ultrasonic water level gauges, etc., which can monitor the water level height in real time and provide data support for flood warning and water resource management.
There are also flowmeters, which are used to measure the flow of water bodies, such as the flow of rivers and channels. There are many types such as ultrasonic flowmeters and electromagnetic flowmeters, which can accurately measure the flow velocity and flow of different water bodies.
And water quality monitors can monitor the physical, chemical and biological parameters of water bodies, such as water temperature, pH value, dissolved oxygen, electrical conductivity, turbidity, ammonia nitrogen, total phosphorus, total nitrogen, etc. These parameters are crucial for evaluating water quality and ecological environment conditions.

Hydrodynamic monitoring station
It contains current meters to measure the speed of water flow. There are propeller current meters, ultrasonic Doppler current meters, etc. By measuring the flow velocity of water, we can understand the movement state and hydrodynamic characteristics of water flow.
There are also wave gauges, which are used to monitor wave parameters of water bodies such as oceans and lakes, such as wave height, wave period, wave direction, etc. It plays an important role in fields such as ocean engineering and coastal protection.
