From Manual Records to Intelligent Monitoring: The Evolution of Campus Weather Stations

With the development of information technology, smart campuses have become an important direction for the modernization of education. Smart campuses integrate various campus resources through technologies such as the Internet of Things and big data to improve management efficiency and teaching quality. As an important part of campus environmental monitoring, the Campus Weather Station has also gone through a development process from scratch and from traditional to intelligent.

In the early days, most Campus Weather Stations were simple manual observation facilities. Teachers and students had to manually record meteorological data such as air temperature and wind speed. The efficiency was relatively low, and the accuracy of the data was greatly affected by human factors. With the progress of meteorological science and electronic technology, automated equipment has been gradually introduced into the Campus Weather Station, and both the frequency and accuracy of data collection have been improved.

The Campus Weather Station is an important device in the construction of smart campuses. Through a variety of sensors, it can automatically monitor meteorological elements such as air temperature, humidity, air pressure, wind speed, wind direction, and precipitation. After the data is collected, it is transmitted in real time to the data processing center through the communication module. Teachers and students can view the meteorological information through the campus network, mobile terminals, etc. These data not only provide real observation materials for meteorological courses but also can be used to analyze the climatic characteristics of the campus area, facilitating the teaching and research of disciplines such as environmental science.

The Campus Weather Station has a warning function. When severe weather is monitored, the system can quickly issue warning information to remind teachers and students to take preventive measures and ensure campus safety. With the continuous development of smart campuses, the Campus Weather Station will play a greater role in teaching, scientific research, and campus management.
