The Campus Weather Station: Nurturing Students' Meteorological Awareness and Scientific Interest"

Recently, a remarkable new addition has caught the attention of numerous students, parents, and passers - by at the entrance of a campus. After inquiry, it is learned that with the active support of relevant departments, the campus has successfully established a standardized Campus Weather Station.

This weather station covers an area of approximately 36 square meters and is divided into two observation areas, the east and the west. The west side is the automatic observation area, where a 10 - meter - high titanium - alloy wind pole is installed. It is equipped with wind direction and speed sensors, temperature and humidity sensors, a main collector chassis, and lightning protection components. The solar - powered system can fully meet the power needs of the automatic station. In addition, there is a dedicated tipping - bucket rain gauge sensor for observing precipitation. The east side is the manual observation area, equipped with a fiberglass louver box. Inside the box are dry - and - wet - bulb thermometers, maximum and minimum thermometers, a hair hygrometer, as well as popular science facilities such as a manual rain gauge, a small evaporation pan, and a wind - facing bird.

This Campus Weather Station is fully functional and can automatically monitor meteorological elements such as temperature, humidity, air pressure, wind direction, wind speed, and precipitation. At the same time, it also fully takes into account the practical needs of students. Students can personally collect meteorological data and participate in meteorological observation activities in the manual observation area.

The establishment of the Campus Weather Station provides students with an excellent platform to learn and understand meteorological knowledge. It helps to raise students' meteorological awareness, expand their scientific horizons, effectively supplement textbook knowledge, stimulate students' interest in science, and enhance their awareness of meteorological disaster prevention and mitigation.

With the completion of the Campus Weather Station, the campus has launched a series of activities called "Observing Meteorology". The first activity is a name - collecting campaign for the weather station. The names are widely solicited from second - grade students, and the most popular name will be selected through voting to create a weather station that truly serves the students.

In the future, the campus plans to rely on this Campus Weather Station to carry out more colorful meteorological popular science activities, such as inviting meteorological experts to give lectures and organizing teachers and students to visit the meteorological bureau, so as to further enhance students' meteorological awareness and promote the all - round development of students.
