weather stations

An automated weather station is a structure or device equipped with sensors that respond to electronic stimuli, which have the capacity to record and collect weather information automatically and in real time. This allows monitoring the variation in air temperature, relative humidity, solar radiation, foliar humidity, wind direction and speed, rainfall, soil temperature, atmospheric pressure, among others. Given that climate is one of the most determining environmental components in the adaptation, distribution and productivity of living beings, information on the state of the weather is a fundamental part of decision-making in modern agriculture that requires updated meteorological information to guide production processes. Furthermore, agriculture is an activity closely related to water resources, the amount of rainwater, the humidity stored in the soil, the evaporation of water, the amount of solar radiation and wind constitute some of the components of the climate that year with year have an impact on crop production.
