New Dealer Exhibits at WMO Expo

May 2011 – We welcome Top Meteo of Italy as a new dealer. Owner Jonata Giorgini and sales manager Patrizio Turri visited our offices this spring looking for professional-grade weather stations to round out their product offerings.

Top Meteo signed on and got their website up and running just in time to exhibit in Geneva at Meteo Hydex 2011, the World Meteorological Organization's exhibition of meteorological and hydrological instruments and equipment.

Their booth displays WeatherMaster Software™ on the big screen with the Orion Weather Station™ demo model which is available to dealers for trade shows and demonstrations.

Solar Panel Weather Monitor

Panel Temp Monitoring Optimizes Energy Efficiency

May 2011 – A panel temperature sensor is now available for Capricorn 2000EX Weather Stations or any CWS Weather Station using our Weather MicroServer. This specialized sensor was developed for a weather station application monitoring solar panel arrays.

Solar panel temperature affects maximum power output - generally, the warmer the solar panel, the less power it can produce. In an industry that focuses on energy efficiency, panel temperature is a critical parameter to monitor relative to performance.

Protective Case for Vehicle-Mount Sensors

April 2011 – No matter how rugged the housing, meteorological sensors are sensitive electronic instruments. A Sensor Protective Case can help protect your sensor head in the rough environment of an incident response vehicle.

These cases are constructed of ultra-high-impact structural copolymer, making them extremely strong and durable. They are unbreakable, watertight, airtight, dustproof, chemical resistant and corrosion proof, offering total protection for sensitive weather-monitoring instruments.

Part Number 88173

Presentation Details Madonna's Capricorn 2000EX™ Configuration

April 2011 – When Madonna University purchased a Capricorn 2000EX, Professor Asaad Istephan requested a PowerPoint® presentation to help spread the word. We created this one to highlight all the features of their configuration which includes a Weather MicroServer and WeatherMaster Software.

While it is our business to be cutting edge with weather monitoring technology, it is tough to keep pace with ever-changing social media. Today we are learning about SlideShare, a free website/application for sharing slide presentations on the Internet as well as embedding them on your own website. Check out our results.

While you're here, another item to check out is our new application page: Responsive Architecture featuring LumenHAUS.

Storm Report from Dixon Weather

March 2011 – Posting photos sent by a Capricorn 2000 customer, Dixon Weather Service (DWS):

Wind damage in and around Dixon February 19 from supercells thunderstorm with strong meso. No tornado reports confirmed, but a lot of funnel clouds were witnessed.

The pictures show the kind of weather we have here. 80+ mph as measured by your equipment. Keep up the good work! I am glad we went with your equipment -- just as good if not better than surrounding ASOS systems.

New Interoperability with Popular Automation Platforms

Feb. 2011 – All weather stations manufactured by Columbia Weather Systems can now be integrated into PROFIBUS®, PROFINET® and LonWorks® networks.

Interoperability is critical in many applications where weather monitoring is one component of a large automation control system such as process control, building or industrial automation,

Adding these popular communication options allows managers invested with these systems to optimize their use of meteorological data for environmental monitoring and device control.
