LoRaWAN sensors on Helium can be used for an awful lot of things, and in this blog we use AI (plus Nik at MetSci) to write about exploring some of the possible use cases.
If this is your first time at the MetSci (short for MeteoScientific) site and you just want to try using things and muddling through, head over to the Console, sign up for an account and get going.
Back in 2022, Mike Harttree, an IoT Architect at Cisco, gave a talk at the LoRa Alliance's annual conference about how the U.S. government is using LoRaWAN to enhance operational efficiency and tackle long-standing logistical challenges.
With all the current fuss about Meshtastic and LoRa, I thought it'd be a good idea to review what has already been done. Some of this is super basic (replacing fuel stick measurements with digital ones), but after all, that's what IoT is about; digitizing the measurements of our world.
It doesn't have to be fancy, it just has to work.
As the foreman in charge of framing jobs on commercial buildings, you’re tasked with ensuring efficiency, profitability, and safety. These responsibilities can feel burdensome, but integrating LoRaWAN technology into your operations could be the game-changing solution you need. This low-power, long-range wireless protocol is reshaping the construction industry, providing ways to cut costs, boost revenue, and enhance safety measures.
Navigating the increasingly digitized world of the trades can seem daunting, especially for established professionals considering retirement. It’s not uncommon for seasoned electricians to view the influx of new technology, such as the LoRaWAN protocol, as a disruptor rather than an opportunity.
In an ever-evolving technological landscape, businesses must adapt to stay ahead. One such technology that is revolutionizing how industries operate is LoRaWAN, a long-range, low-power wide-area networking (LPWAN) protocol.
Vernal pools are unique bodies of water that are of great ecological importance, but are often difficult to monitor and study due to their remote locations. LoRaWAN technology, a low-power, wide-area network communication system, presents a valuable solution to this challenge.
One of the most important aspects of micrometeorology is the use of measurements to understand and predict how these processes will change over time. Here are the 8 measurements you'll need to know.
As a farmer or land owner, it is important to have accurate and reliable information about the weather and climate conditions on your property. This can help you to make informed decisions about things like when to plant and harvest crops, how to manage your land and resources, and how to prepare for extreme weather events.
The delta between soil and air temperatures can give us clues about the stability of the atmosphere. When the soil is much warmer than the air, it can indicate that the air is likely to rise quickly. This rising air is known as convection, and it can lead to the formation of clouds and storms. On the other hand, if the soil is much cooler than the air, it can indicate that the air will sink, which can lead to calm and stable weather.
A microclimate is the climate of a small, specific area, such as a valley. The microclimate of a valley can be different from the climate of the surrounding region, due to the way that the valley’s shape and other factors influence the movement of air and the amount of sunlight it receives.
A daily weather sounding is a measurement of the temperature, humidity, and wind speed in the atmosphere at different levels above the Earth’s surface. It is used to help predict the weather and to understand the processes that influence it.
Micrometeorology is an important field that helps us to understand how small-scale weather and climate processes will affect things like agriculture, forestry, and the natural environment.
PM 2.5 and PM 10 are two types of air pollution that can have harmful effects on human health. PM stands for “particulate matter,” and the numbers refer to the size of the particles in micrometers.
Anemometers are instruments that measure the speed of the wind. They are often used in weather stations to help predict the weather and to study the Earth’s atmosphere.
Micrometeorology is the study of the movement of air and other substances near the surface of the Earth. It helps us to understand how the Earth’s surface and atmosphere interact with each other.
The planetary boundary layer is a part of the Earth’s atmosphere that is close to the surface of the Earth. It is called the “boundary” layer because it is a boundary between the air above it and the Earth’s surface.
LoRaWAN is a type of wireless technology that is used to transmit small amounts of data over long distances. It is often used in sensors that measure things like temperature, humidity, and wind speed.
