Quality construction and an integrated solar panel gives Nomad the independence required for prolonged operation in isolated or inhospitable environments.

The Nomad’s portability allows the user to monitor any location and as standard measures: temperature, humidity, pressure, wind speed, wind direction, solar radiation and rainfall.

Easy Assembly

The Nomad system comprises three key components, a lightweight collapsible tripod assembly. Sensus data logger housed in IP67 enclosure (logger, solar panel and rechargeable battery) and detachable sensor array (anemometer, wind vane, temperature, humidity and solar radiation).

Barometric pressure is integrated within the Sensus logger and a tipping bucket rain gauge is generally sited adjacent to the system The system comes complete with ground anchoring kit and compass for correct station orientation. All components are housed within custom designed carry bags for ease of transportation and system protection.

Data Delivery

Nomad generated data can be retrieved directly via a laptop PC or global collection via GSM modems is fully supported.

Alternatively, Casella offer 24/7 web based access to data via www.casella-monitor.net

The Nomad is a rapidly deployed automatic weather system which outputs data directly back to an incident command vehicle, where it can run in conjunction with Aloha® and CAMEO ® predictive software packages*, allowing appropriate evacuation and evaluation measures to be undertaken. Alternatively, Casella offer 24/7 web based access to data via www.casella-monitor.net. (Data management contracts can be tailored to suit your application).

Key Features

• Rapid Deployment
• Outputs data to ALOHA® software
• SAM specification compliant
• Measurement of local weather conditions
• Direct Cable or GSM/SMS communication back to command vehicle.
• Measurement of Windspeed, Direction, Temperature, RH%
• Operates from Solar or portable power source.

ALOHA® (Area Locations of Hazardous Atmospheres) uses information you input, along with data from its extensive chemical library, to predict how a hazardous gas cloud might disperse in the atmosphere after an accidental chemical release. The air dispersion model predicts the downwind dispersion of a chemical cloud.

Graphical outputs include estimates of the cloud footprint, the rate and duration of release, and chemical concentration over time. ALOHA® can display a “footprint” plot of the area downwind of a release where concentrations may exceed a user-set threshold level.
