Abstract

This paper presents a field trial aimed at evaluating the performance of a micrometeorological weather station developed by IOSB. Which aims to sample a larger area through point measurements. Goal of the trial was to sample meteorological data of a larger scale by extensive point measurements. The weather station is equipped with a variety of sensors, including GPS, temperature, humidity, air pressure, wind speed and direction, as well as particle and aerosol measurements (PM1, PM2.5, and PM10). Additionally, radiation variables such as UV and IR measurements (IR: response maximum 820nm, UV: response range 280 – 430 nm), as well as aerosol optical thickness, can be measured. The weather station is also equipped with a camera for wider optical applications such as turbulence determination, cloud tracking, and positioning. During several intense field trials, including in Jordan, the performance and accuracy of the micrometeorological weather station in measuring weather parameters were evaluated and a variety of errors were corrected. The data collected by the weather station are compared with measurements from other meteorological instruments to evaluate the reliability and accuracy of the weather station. The micrometeorological weather station has the potential to be a cost-effective and reliable solution for measuring weather parameters in various applications such as precision agriculture, environmental monitoring, and climate research.
