About the Project

The Meteorological Instruments Project is a weather station design and assembly service offering affordable high-quality made-to-order weather observing systems for both public and private entities across the contiguous United States.

These automated weather stations are part of a greater network initiative called the Collaborative High-resolution Atmospheric Data Automated Surface Observing System (CHAD ASOS). Up to the minute maps, simplistic textual displays, and meteograms of CHAD ASOS data can be found on this site for your personal use.

Service:

Based out of St. Louis, MO, USA, I offer flexible meteorological observation solutions that are user catered utilizing high-quality instrumentation at a competitive price-point. No one system or network are the same such that the end user has complete customizability and control in what they measure and how they measure it. This approach precludes the “one size fits all” mentality that many other weather station manufacturers subscribe to.

I design, construct, and integrate both new and used observations systems. A standard system includes an anemometer (wind), thermometer (temperature), hygro-thermometer (relative humidity and dew point), barometer (atmospheric pressure), rain gauge (precipitation), pyranometer (sun light intensity), and data logger (recorder). Components used in each system come from a wide range of industry standard manufacturers including but not limited to R. M. Young, Campbell Scientific, Vaisala, and Setra Systems.

Prior to site installation, applicable instrument calibration is traceable to the National Institute of Standards and Technology. Each location complies with WMO and AASC recommended siting practices as close as practical.

Each solution are described below:

Both the architecture and method of data access and retrieval are tailored to the end user. I want to work with you and meet your requirements when designing your single site or network of weather stations.

Weather station data may be hosted natively on the Met Instruments Project website, via integration onto a user supplied site, or through a newly hosted site dedicated to storing and managing your weather data. Locally logged data will also have an immediate method of access and retrieval. Depending on your needs, coordination with your ISP may be required.

I believe that if you own the weather station, you own the data. The system is intrinsically designed to allow end user access on demand whenever and however needed. There will never be paid access. The only subscriptions required are for webhosting and/or cellular data (if applicable).

Once integrated, I offer an optional contractual maintenance and calibration service for continued support after install.
