Set-and-Forget Rain Gauge

Wireless MeteoRain IoT Compact is based on the MeteoRain 200 Compact rain gauge and offers users the freedom to collect rain measurements without having to install weather stations.

Measurement consistency, compact size, and its ability to measure even when not wholly level make the MeteoRain 200 Compact rain gauge a favorite for watershed monitoring, agriculture, and smart-city installations. Also available in a wireless version, this compact rain gauge not only features a standardized 200 cm2 measuring orifice area to WMO standards but does this in a very compact package whose installation is limited to just four screws.

Featuring a self-balancing, highly vibration-resistant measuring mechanism, it can provide consistent data quality for years on end. Additionally, long-term maintenance-free operation requires only a single re-calibration within 6-12 months of installation to account for soiling, after which it can operate with minimal measurement uncertainty for years.

This August in Chicago, BARANI DESIGN Technologies will be exhibiting and looking for B2B partnerships for the USA, Canada, and Mexico markets at the Meteorological Technology World Expo North America. This B2B expo will be at the Stephens Convention Center in Chicago on August 31 and September 1, 2022.

Generation 3 Reference Standard Solar Radiation Shield for Temperature Sensors

Cutaway of the Gen 3 MeteoShield Pro with Vaisala HMP155 temperature sensor and additional temperature probe inside.

Sometimes the best gets better, which is the case with the only helical solar radiation shield for weather station temperature sensors. Listening to feedback from its customers in Antarctica, the Death Valley, and the Sahara, BARANI DESIGN Technologies has brought the last few remaining improvements to the already class-leading helical MeteoShield® Professional.

This new 3rd generation (Gen 3) naturally ventilated solar radiation shield features improved reflected light control from snow-covered or solar-heated ground while maintaining the high air flow rates, which is the number one factor guaranteeing measurement quality. Additionally, solar-powered artificial fan ventilation is available for the rare, less than 0.5 m/s (1.1mph) wind conditions, where all naturally ventilated solar shields show some signs of solar heating.

While these improvements may seem subtle to the naked eye, their combined effect reduces the already class-leading measurement uncertainty in all weather conditions to below 0.1°C, far below even many fan-ventilated solar screen counterparts.

MeteoAG Leaf Wetness Sensor for Agricultural Applications

MeteoAG leaf wetness sensor provides high reliability data on leaf wetness and surface air temperature to predict frost damage to crops.

While the BARANI DESIGN Technologies wireless agricultural weather stations are seeing record installations in 2020, we have been hard at work to finalize the latest addition to our modular agricultural weather station sensor set.

Along side soil water tension sensors, soil water content sensors and soil temperature sensors, the MeteoAG wireless agricultural node will also provide critical leaf wetness data along with near surface air temperature data essential to monitoring late autumn and spring frost events.

The final testing phase of MeteoAG has started and will continue throughout December and over the Christmas holidays in preparation for the start of the 2021 farming season.
