Surface observations
National meteorological services around the world rely on data provided by surface weather observation systems and networks. Vaisala's complete surface weather solutions enhance operational efficiency, lower operating costs and improve data accuracy and consistency. Solutions range from individual monitoring platforms to fully automated national weather monitoring systems, networks and operations.
Synoptic Networks
Synoptic observation networks form the base of weather observations of National Meteorological Services around the world. Vaisala MetMan Network Software together with Vaisala Automatic Weather Stations offer you a powerful platform for managing your synoptic observation networks.
Climatological Systems
Climatological weather observations serve long-term scientific purposes and provide important data input for sophisticated weather models and climate change research.
Marine observations
Meteorological needs on the water are complex, and every ship or platform has a different set of needs. Over the past several decades, hundreds of Vaisala systems have been put to use worldwide by clients as varied as meteorological institutes; research and commercial vessels; and offshore oil and gas platforms.
Precipitation Networks
Precipitation networks serve several different purposes like synoptic observations for weather forecasting, climate observations, hydrological observations, flood warning, etc., each of which may have slightly different requirements e.g. regarding accuracy and measurement interval.
Agricultural networks
Weather, climate and water information is critical for agriculture. The most important areas of agricultural production system management are irrigation scheduling, crop and range planning.
