Abstract

This paper focuses on the design and implementation of a micrometeorological weather station tailored for swarm applications in ground-based scenarios. The concept of a swarm application refers to the integration of numerous low-cost devices that work together to optimise efficiency. Our weather station integrates sensors such as GPS, temperature, humidity, air pressure, wind metrics, particle measurements and radiation parameters, and incorporates a camera for enhanced data insights. Built on a state of the art Sensebox MCU, Arduino Mega and Raspberry Pi, the different stations provides a low-cost solution. Field tests have verified and validated the station’s capabilities, and while some limitations have been identified, the station’s swarm applicability holds promise for large-scale weather data collection in large environments.
