Meteorological Sensors

Worldwide climatic data are collected for calculating hydrology and energy balance. These data form the basis for hydrological predictions, water balance research and resource management.

An automatic weather station (AWS) stores the data continuously in a data logger (e.g. MDS-5) which enables measurements from remote areas via GSM, GPRS, Radio, W-LAN, or Satellite transmission. SEBA sensors correspond to the standards of the World Meteorological Organization (WMO) and our concepts are continuously improved.
The configuration of an AWS may vary due to the purpose of the system but typically consists of a weather-proof enclosure containing the data logger (e.g. MDS-5), rechargeable battery and telemetry (optional), meteorological sensors, solar panels and a mast.
