Design of Metrological observing system

Abstract

The weather has always been a subject of universal interest, and the recent climate change issue. Thus, the main objective of this thesis a foundation is laid for a low cost, energy efficient and a fully automatic weather station. The novelties of the station are its ability to acquire weather data automatically and send it via the GSM network to a communication server. It includes most common weather sensing options and good accuracy. The station is comprised of several components that, when assembled, are called an embedded system. Its main components are an Arduino microcontroller, a GSM communication module and weather sensors. The station’s main requirements and specifications of components are analyzed. Suitable and task specific components are compared to find the most appropriate ones for the system.
