BARANI DESIGN to donate € 20K worth of instrumentation to fight climate change

Helical MeteoShield® Professional solar radiation shield for professional weather stations

SENSOR DONATION TO ENVIRONMENTAL RESEARCH

To thank world-wide environmental researchers for their efforts in the fight against accelerated global warming, BARANI DESIGN Technologies is planning to donate 100 helical MeteoShield® Professional solar radiation shields, valued at 20,000 Eur, to research organizations. Interested parties should contact BARANI DESIGN Technologies directly to secure their part of this sensor donation package. Research organizations can also sign up at the World Meteorological Exhibition on June 5, 6, 7 at stand 6020, which will be held in Hall 4 of Palexpo in Geneva, Switzerland.

MeteoShield® Pro can be found in use on all continents including Antarctica. It is used in a wide range of applications including:

• Airport weather stations

• MeteoHelix® IoT Pro micro weather stations

• AWOS professional weather stations

• Meteorological weather observation systems

• Solar power plant Weather Monitoring Systems (WMS) (Photovoltaic PV)

• HVAC

• Oceanography

• and more…

CO2 = profits; water vapor = climate change

Why is the most significant greenhouse gas water vapor and not CO₂?

Water vapor is not officially considered to be a cause of man-made global warming because it is abundant and CO₂ is much more convenient to measure, regulate and tax. The fact that water vapor does not persist in the atmosphere for more than a few days, makes its concentrations highly variable and harder to quantify on a global scale without good quality weather networks everywhere. Its concentrations can reach 100 times that of CO₂ and its ability to trap heat is double. Additionally, fog and clouds reflect and absorb immense amounts of incoming solar radiation and moderate climatic temperatures. The water cycle reduces temperature extremes and redistributes heat throughout earth’s climates.

MeteoHelix® weather stations installed to monitor new frost protection technology experiment in famous Vienna Wine School

Bundesamt für Obst- und Weinbau in Klosterneuburg

Three MeteoHelix® micro-weather stations were installed to monitor new technology experiment to help prevent frost on budding wine grape plans at the renowned Hö­he­re Bun­des­lehr­an­stalt viticulture school in Klosterneuburg near Vienna, Austria. These precision weather stations are powered by the sun and connected to the Sensor Network Services GmbH LoRaWAN wireless network to provide critical real-time information to help evaluate the success of this new technology. Differentiated by their helical shape, they are able to provide world class measurements for a fraction of the cost of comparable accuracy meteorological technologies.

The variability of weather over the recent decade has caused grape wine damage in the millions of euros each year due to frost. This experiment is very significant due to the fact that it sits within a vast wine region stretching for hundreds of kilometers from the Tokaj of southern Slovakia and northern Hungary to the southern Moravia region of the Czech republic and all the way to the Vienna region known for its wine schools and superb white wine production.
