A high-quality weather station designed to provide live weather observations for weather dependent industries

mSTAR offers high quality weather data by meeting the current World Meteorological Organization (WMO) recommendations. This automated weather station also offers consistent high quality readings through regular calibration of sensors with traceability to international standards. These can meet your precise requirements through the very wide range of sensor types that can be added.

mSTAR offers excellent continuity of service through continuous performance monitoring and fault repair within agreed timeframes by MetService engineers. mSTAR is ideally suited to remote locations as it can be solar powered and also operate with cellular communications.

They are a very cost effective way to meet your needs because of the smart technology used and each location can be configured to meet your own data requirements.

Benefits include:

• mSTAR can operate at a distance from power and communication lines

• Wireless cellular communication delivers weather observations once a minute

• Data can also be sent to a local computer for real-time display

• Meets World Meteorological Organisation (WMO) standards

• Large suite of sensors to suit your weather data requirements

• mSTARs can operate in remote sites and in harsh environments
  

Our Automated Weather Stations have a range of uses for numerous industries including:
