Weather Station Software

This software prepared to setup on automatic weather stations to read data from loggers, display the parameters in attractive graphical view, computing some meteorological values, create archive in database, generate standard report like Synop- Metar automatically or manually by observers and transmit the whole data to national or local center.

  • Some abilities:

    Connection with data logger
  • Reading sensor data
  • Saving sensor data on the station Data Base
  • Saving data read logs from the Data Base
  • Synchronization of date and time of data logger with the station computer
  • Connection and recognition of different brands of AWS Loggers such as Lambrecht, Theodor Friedrichs , Thies, Anderaa, Vaisala.
  • Automatic production of standard reports (Synop, Metar, Half an hour Metar, max and min , Buoy, Bufr, Climat)
  • Online sending of the read data to the server
  • Sending the read log files to the server
  • Synchronization of the time and date of the server and the station
  • Making the required acknowledgements between the server and the station
  • Continues checking of the sensor outputs
  • Saving the out of range data of the sensor in the Data Base
  • Reminding the time of sending the non-automatic data to be sent by the observer
  • Saving the times of disconnection of the logger in the data base
  • Saving the times of the disconnection of the station with the server in the data base
  • Saving the disconnection of the main services and transmission of the data in the data base
  • Saving the warnings in the Data base
  • Preparing standard format reports such as; synop, metar, speci, …
  • Preparing standard automatic and non-automatic meteorological reports
  • Producing Bufr code version 3 and 4
  • Calculation of all parameters such as dew point, QNH and …..
  • Low level Quality control of parameters in the station
  • Ability to define virtual sensor and related formula in the program
  • Visualization of the online sensors data in a list or with graphical gages
  • Following the telecommunication standard format of the bulletin such as header, ending, heading etc .
Data collection software (HM-DCS)
The HM-DCS is the main software running on the data collection server, it has the task of collecting and archiving all the un processed data of Meteorological, Hydrological and other sensors depending on the configuration of that station. This is the most important part of the system. In this software the different protocols for data communication to the stations such as PSTN, GSM modems and satellite and or with the storage card are defined. The stations can have connection through several PSTN and GSM links, so there is no restriction in the number of connected stations.
This software also has the ability of giving warning in the happening of an event. This warning can be triggered by the start of precipitation, reaching a specified amount of precipitation, end of precipitation, opening the station door, or any other parameter for triggering.
There is the ability to view online all station parameters with graphical items.
The stations can get the correct time and date from the GPS. With each time connection of the station, the station data is checked and if it was approved, the data will be added to the program and Data Base.

Some abilities:
  • Collection of un processed data from meteorological sensors
  • Changing station configuration
  • Defining new phone number for the Modem connection
  • Connecting the station and gathering data
  • Defining the period of connection
  • Changing the IP address and setting the gateway for TCP/IP connection
  • Ability to view all parameters online( temperature, precipitation, snow depth, rain height , humidity,…..) with attractive graphical pictures
  • Providing accurate date and time to all stations through the GPS system
  • Connecting the stations with the use of PSTN, GSM and Satellite
The ability of providing warning is such as
  • Start of precipitation
  • End of precipitation
  • Reaching a special amount of precipitation
  • Other defined parameters depending on the sensors


 Monitoring and general reporting system (HM-Monitor)

This software has the responsibility of operations on the Data Base, defining, editing and omitting the data and information in the Regions, Stations, Sensors, Access Groups and Users and providing different kind of reports are some of the tasks of the system.
Monitoring the received data from the station, quality of the sent data and visualization of the sensors of one station in a special time period is also the task of this software.  
Different kinds of diagrams can be drawn by the HM-Monitor, which shows information in different statistical models.

  • Some abilities:
  • Controlling and visualizing all data and information sent from the stations
  • Managing users and groups access level
  • Defining and editing stations
  • Defining new sensors and editing current sensors
  • Defining warning and informative alarm systems
  • Configuration of sensors, warnings, receiving data, data logger, files,…..
  • Preparing report of sent data, sensor information, received files
  • Possibility to draw charts and wind rose
  • Possibility to prepare different kind of output format such as Excel, text files, ….
  • Possibility to produce any kind of report
