The atmospheric parameter sensing is pivotal in the forecasting of the weather. The meteorological parameters like temperature, humidity and pressure are measured with the usage of sensors. The DHT11 sensor is employed for measurement of humidity where as the BMP180 sensor is used for the monitoring of temperature and atmospheric pressure. The sensors are interfaced to NodeMCU ESP-32S module. The humidity sensor is interfaced with the single-wire two-way serial protocol and the pressure sensor is interfaced with the I2C protocol. The Arduino IDE is employed for scripting the software of the system. The developed prototype is connected to IoT with the help of inbuilt Wi-Fi module in the NodeMCU EPS-32S. The data collected is portrayed on a web page developed in the IDE. The system is compact and easy to use with its plug and play nature. The prototype can be deployed over various areas such as home automation, industries, healthcare centers.

For atmospheric boundary-layer (ABL) studies, unmanned aircraft systems (UAS) can provide new information in addition to traditional in-situ measurements, or by ground- or satellite-based remote sensing techniques. The ability of fixed-wing UAS to transect the ABL in short time supplement ground-based measurements and the ability to extent the data horizontally and vertically allows manifold investigations. Thus, the measurements can provide many new possibilities for investigating the ABL. This study presents the new mark of the Multi-Purpose Airborne Sensor Carrier (MASC-3) for wind and turbulence measurements and describes the subsystems designed to improve the wind measurement, to gain endurance and to allow operations under an enlarged range of environmental conditions. The airframe, the capabilities of the autopilot Pixhawk 2.1, the sensor system and the data acquisition software, as well as the post-processing software, provide the basis for flight experiments and are described in detail. Two flights in a stable boundary-layer and a close comparison to a measurement tower and a Sodar system depict the accuracy of the wind speed and direction measurements, as well as the turbulence measurements. Mean values, variances, covariance, turbulent kinetic energy and the integral length scale agree well with measurements from a meteorological measurement tower. MASC-3 performs valuable measurements of stable boundary layers with high temporal resolution and supplements the measurements of meteorological towers and sodar systems.

The measurement of meteorological elements is of great significance in marine environment monitoring. Air pressure and air temperature/humidity are important parts of marine meteorological observation. An application example of the integrated meteorological measurement system composed by new pressure sensor and temperature/humidity sensor in remote island meteorological measurement is introduced, and also the basic characteristics of the two sensors and also the hardware interface design and software control method of microcontroller C8051F120 are described, and finally RS-485 bus interface circuit design and software design as well as its integration method are provided. Practical application proves that this system features high accuracy, low power consumption, convenient maintenance, and high reliability.
