Rainfall Sensor for Hydrological & Meteorological Monitoring Project
Project Background
Completed and officially deployed in 2017, this project adopts Yantai rainfall sensors to build stable and accurate automatic rainfall monitoring systems for multi-scenario public and industrial monitoring fields. Covering meteorological stations, hydrological stations, agricultural and forestry bases, national defense facilities and hydropower station water condition monitoring scenarios, the sensor realizes real-time remote telemetry of liquid precipitation, rainfall intensity and rainfall start-stop time.
Serving as core perception equipment for hydrological early warning and environmental monitoring, it supports automatic data collection and remote reporting of hydropower station water regime data, effectively assisting flood prevention control and standardized automatic hydrological monitoring management.
- Equipment: Rainfall sensor
- Location: China
- Date: 2017
Project Requirements
Traditional rainfall monitoring relies on manual timing observation and recording, featuring low data acquisition frequency, large human error and poor real-time performance.
In flood-prone hydropower station and watershed environments, untimely rainfall data update leads to delayed flood risk judgment, unable to support rapid early warning and scheduling decisions.
In addition, scattered monitoring points in agriculture, forestry and meteorological fields lack unified remote data transmission means, resulting in low overall informatization and intelligent monitoring level.
Our Solution
Targeting the multi-scenario environmental and hydrological monitoring demands, we launched a professional rainfall sensor overall solution, focusing on high-precision perception, long-term stability and remote intelligent transmission, to solve the pain points of low automation and poor data accuracy in traditional rainfall monitoring.
System Overview & Basic Configuration
The complete outdoor meteorological and hydrological monitoring system adopts integrated collaborative hardware configuration, mainly composed of Tipping Bucket Rain Sensor and Three-cup Anemometer, matched with professional signal transmission modules and remote monitoring terminals. The two core sensors independently monitor rainfall and wind speed data respectively, realizing synchronized, automatic and high-precision collection of on-site meteorological and hydrological information. The detailed system equipment configuration is shown in the table below:
| Equipment Name | Core Function | Equipment Features |
|---|---|---|
| Tipping Bucket Rain Sensor | High-precision tipping bucket structure design, used to measure liquid precipitation volume, real-time rainfall intensity, and record the start and stop time of rainfall events; realizes automatic water regime monitoring and data remote reporting for hydropower stations and field monitoring stations | Adopts standard meteorological tipping bucket principle, high measurement accuracy and good repeatability; industrial outdoor waterproof and dustproof design, supports 24-hour unattended continuous monitoring, stable data output without manual frequent maintenance |
| Three-cup Anemometer | Real-time monitoring of ambient wind speed for on-site meteorological environment calibration and auxiliary weather data analysis | 120掳 symmetrical three-cup structure, low rotation friction and high sensitivity; made of anti-corrosion aluminum alloy, rust-proof and weather-resistant, adaptable to harsh outdoor environments |
| Signal Transmission Module | Real-time receiving and lossless remote uploading of rainfall and wind speed monitoring data | Stable signal transmission, good compatibility with field sensing equipment, solve the problem of scattered monitoring data and isolated information |
| Remote Monitoring Terminal | Receive, sort, store and display all field monitoring data; support real-time data synchronization and automatic meteorological early warning | Unified visual management, fast data response, support long-term data recording, convenient for subsequent meteorological statistics and flood prevention scheduling |
