Guide to Buying a Professional Weather Station

Vehicle-Mount Weather Stations provide meteorological data monitoring for mobile operations such as Incident Response, Command and Control, and Mobile Air Traffic Control. Internal system components can be permanently mounted in the vehicle, while exterior sensor components are stored in a compartment or optional protective case.

Quick Deploy • Interoperability • Automation

Our mobile weather stations are quick to set up and within minutes can be automatically recording data for incident decision-making and reporting, as well as, transmitting data to applications such as CAMEO/ALOHA and CERES for plume modeling and situational awareness.

The 9-ft telescoping mast is detachable for transportation storage, then quickly clicks into place for rapid deployment. The entire system is operational within minutes to provide critical weather information where and when it is needed.

The bottom line is that the conditions at an incident may not be exactly as forecast or reported elsewhere. There’s no substitute for immediate, accurate, on-site weather data.

Experience

We've been in the business of weather monitoring for 40 years. Our mobile weather stations were developed by a former Air Force meteorologist specifically for the public safety market.

Columbia Weather Systems makes weather monitoring easy so you can do your job better.

“We can deploy within minutes after arriving on scene... There are no moving parts which make the system virtually ‘Fire Fighter Proof’! We are now able to receive ‘Live’ accurate weather data to use with the ALOHA Air Plume modeling program. Having ‘Live’ weather data is vital to our operation.”
