TSI dust monitors and Lufft weather sensors make a great team
Both aerosols and wind speed and direction influence air quality significantly. This is why TSI Incorporated, a world leader in particle measurements, cooperates with Lufft USA in order to provide complete systems to measure PM2.5 (fine dust), PM10 (particles with a maximum diameter of 10 μm) as well as total PM levels. TSI Incorporated offers a variety of aerosol monitors for real-time, ...

Introduction to JXCT weather station
Background ~A weather station is a facility equipped with instruments to measure various atmospheric conditions and weather elements. The instruments are used to collect data that can be used to predict weather patterns, monitor climate change, and provide information to farmers, pilots and other professionals who rely on weather information. The Weather Station 900 is a state-of-the-art weather ...

What are the advantages of ultrasonic wind sensors?
Whether mechanical, ultrasonic or laser wind measurements: All measuring methods have technical limits. While for mechanical wind sensors the measuring element – cups and vanes – itself predominantly produces a disturbance in the flow field, for ultrasonic anemometers a disturbance can be caused by the sensor holder or housing construction. Only optical methods, e.g. LDA (Laser ...

New monitoring network for Scottish ports - Case study
In the past, the ferries operating off the west coast of Scotland would have to sail to port to assess weather and tidal conditions would allow them to berth alongside the pier. In efforts to save time, fuel and costs, the Caledonian Maritime Assets Limited (CMAL), which owns many of the ferries, ports and harbors in the region, decided to install 15 tide and weather stations, using OTT ...

Safe Landings Whatever the Weather: Lufft Sensors on Airports
Pilots, air traffic controllers and airport operators do their best to make air travel safer and more efficient. Sometimes, however, flight security depends on external factors we can hardly influence. This especially refers to risky weather conditions: Strong winds, icy cold or strong precipitation can have serious consequences. On average, 23% of all aircraft accidents and 68% of canceled ...

Why are airport security measures becoming increasingly important?
General air traffic has increased significantly in recent decades, so that more and more people prefer to travel by air. The high volume of passenger flights places particularly high demands on safety. But which factors are highly relevant with regard to flight safety? It’s self-evident that technology, in particular, has a major influence on the safety of passenger aircraft. All technical ...

Great Lakes need great Data Buoys
One recently finished project was performed by the University of Wisconsin and has comprised the depolyment of two data buoys which are both furnished with a multifunctional Lufft WS501-UMB. These weather sensors measure ambient temperature, relative humidity, air pressure, wind direction and speed as well as solar radiation detection with the help of a Kipp & Zonen pyranometer. The data is ...

Mining Emissions Effectively Monitored with Micro Pulse LiDAR Technology
Micro Pulse LiDAR is an effective tool for monitoring and measuring dust and emissions produced by mining operations. Mining operations include blasting, excavating, scraping, and sifting large amounts of dirt. These activities create dust and other emissions that are transported by air currents to surrounding areas. It is easy to say that dangerous particulate matter (PM) generated by mining ...
