He\u00a0AEMET's measuring station automation project\u00a0<\/strong>It is based on the\u00a0technical design of the enclosure or physical infrastructure that houses the electronic equipment<\/strong>, commonly known as\u00a0automatic weather station module or weather shelter<\/strong>. This element is essential because it allows us to guarantee\u00a0environmental protection, electrical stability, communications security, and instrumentation maintenance<\/strong>\u00a0during long periods of autonomous operation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n


More than fifteen weather radars are located in major Spanish cities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Physical infrastructure of an AEMET automatic station<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Concept of the technical cabin<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Each automatic weather station incorporates a small technical enclosure or climate-controlled cabinet<\/strong> which acts as the station's control center. This room houses all the electronic systems responsible for:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  • data acquisition<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • communications<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • power supply<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • equipment protection<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • remote monitoring.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

    This enclosure is usually installed next to the sensor mast<\/strong> within the fenced enclosure of the meteorological garden.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Physical structure of the passenger compartment<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    Outdoor technical cabinet<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

    The passenger compartment usually consists of a watertight metal cabinet designed for outdoor use<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Its main features include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      \n
    • structure of galvanized steel or aluminum<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • corrosion protection<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • degree of protection IP65 or higher<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • security locking system<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • controlled ventilation.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

      Typical dimensions are usually between:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        \n
      • 1200 mm and 2000 mm in height<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n
      • 600-800 mm wide<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n
      • 400-600 mm deep<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

        This allows for housing all the necessary electronic equipment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        Interior layout of the passenger compartment<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

        Several functional modules are organized inside the technical cabinet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        Data acquisition system<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

        The central part is installed weather datalogger<\/strong>, which is the equipment that collects the information from the sensors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        This equipment includes:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

          \n
        • analog inputs<\/li>\n\n\n\n
        • digital tickets<\/li>\n\n\n\n
        • communication ports<\/li>\n\n\n\n
        • storage memory.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

          The datalogger is connected via cabling to all the sensors on the weather mast.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

          Communications system<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

          The cabin incorporates telecommunications equipment that allows data to be sent to the control center.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

          These include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

            \n
          • 4G \/ LTE modem<\/li>\n\n\n\n
          • industrial router<\/li>\n\n\n\n
          • outdoor antenna<\/li>\n\n\n\n
          • data transmission system.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

            Antennas are usually installed on a small mast or on the sensor mount itself to improve coverage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

            Electrical protection system<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

            Various protective elements are installed inside the cabinet:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

              \n
            • surge protection<\/li>\n\n\n\n
            • fuses<\/li>\n\n\n\n
            • magnetothermal<\/li>\n\n\n\n
            • protection against lightning strikes.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

              These protections are especially important because the stations are usually installed in open areas exposed to thunderstorms<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

              Cable management<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

              The sensor wiring is organized by:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                \n
              • internal channels<\/li>\n\n\n\n
              • connection terminals<\/li>\n\n\n\n
              • watertight connectors.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

                Each sensor has its own connection channel to the datalogger.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                The wiring is designed to:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                  \n
                • minimize interference<\/li>\n\n\n\n
                • avoid signal loss<\/li>\n\n\n\n
                • facilitate maintenance.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

                  Remote monitoring <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

                  Automation allows monitoring the status of the technical cabinet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                  The monitored variables include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                    \n
                  • indoor temperature<\/li>\n\n\n\n
                  • battery voltage<\/li>\n\n\n\n
                  • power status<\/li>\n\n\n\n
                  • communications status<\/li>\n\n\n\n
                  • datalogger status.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

                    If a fault is detected, the system generates an alert in the control center.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                    Thanks to its modular and robust design, the national network of weather stations can operate in a reliable, autonomous and continuous throughout the Spanish territory<\/strong>, even in remote locations or adverse weather conditions.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
