Weather stations for China horticulture

Weather stations for international horticultural development

Location : Gouzhou, Southern China

A network of five EIT automatic weather stations is established in the Gouzhou district of Southern China. EIT automatic weather stations provide detailed information on climates within plantation regions.

Each weather station is equipped with sensors :
Ambient air temperature
Relative humidity
Soil temperature ( 100 mm depth )
Solar radiation
Wind direction
Soil tension
Wind speed
Rainfall
Evapotranspiration ( computed from weather variables )

Environmental monitoring system for Palm Oil plantations. - Indonesia

Project requirements: Automatic weather monitoring facility capable of accurate, long term operation in tropical monsoon environment. Systems must be supplied as fully turn key system comprising of data recorder, sensors and integrated software for data analysis and reporting.
Solution: Provide a network of stand alone weather stations to suit agricultural climatology consisting of sensors for measuring temperature, humidity, solar radiation, leaf wetness, wind, rainfall and evaporation.

Background information:
The Palm Oil industry is on of the largest agricultural industries in Indonesia. Palm oil production and oil yield is influenced by plant variety, site and local climate. Data from the weather stations is being used by agricultural researchers to understand the correlation between rain events and yield. Research is focussing on the relationship between insect activity ( which provide pollination ), the duration of wet periods during flower senescence and rainfall intensity.
