Forestry Weather Station: The Guardian of Forests Against the Menace of Fires

The connection between meteorology and forest fires is extremely close, and the significance of the Forestry Weather Station is substantial. The ignition of combustibles in the forest is affected by changes in meteorological conditions. Factors such as humidity, temperature, precipitation, and wind force are all crucial. For example, during sunny, high-temperature, and windy conditions, the water content of combustibles may drop below 40%, easily triggering a fire.

Air humidity is a key factor in fire risk. When it is less than 60%, there is a potential fire hazard. The higher the temperature, the faster the moisture in combustibles evaporates, making them more prone to ignition. Moreover, high temperatures can make the fire more fierce. Less precipitation and longer periods without rain will reduce the water content of combustibles, increasing both the possibility and severity of a fire. The fire risk is low shortly after heavy rain.

Wind has a significant impact on fires. It can dry vegetation and assist combustion. After a fire occurs, wind provides oxygen to the fire source, accelerates combustion, and expands the fire. It can even turn a ground fire into a crown fire.

Forest fires mostly occur in spring and are highly destructive, followed by autumn. Changes in meteorological conditions result in different fire risk periods. The weather station can determine the spring and autumn fire prevention periods based on this, classify fire levels, and issue fire prevention forecasts to protect forest resources. At the same time, it can assess the damage of fires to the forest microclimate and assist in taking countermeasures.

The Forestry Weather Station under Fengtu is a powerful assistant for forest protection. It consists of meteorological sensors, a data collector, a solar power supply system, a pole bracket, and a cloud platform.

The data collector has low power consumption and saves energy. There are various transmission methods, including GPRS networking, and Bluetooth and wired transmissions can also be expanded. The 7-inch Android touch screen is convenient for operation. It supports sensor expansion and can meet the monitoring needs of more meteorological elements. The solar charging has high efficiency, the bracket is firm, and the protective box has good performance, adapting to the outdoor environment. It also has a SMS alarm function.

The measurement ranges and precisions of its technical parameters such as environmental temperature, relative humidity, wind direction, wind speed, rainfall, light intensity, and atmospheric pressure are reasonable and relatively high. The software platform performs excellently. The host computer software can process data on the PC side, and the Android APP can receive and process data on the mobile phone side. Even if the mobile phone is in sleep mode, it will not be affected. The cloud platform does not require additional software installation. Multiple accounts and devices can log in. It can display real-time and historical data, and also has functions such as SMS alarms, data export, and analysis, providing strong support for forest fire prevention work.
