Automated Multi-Parameter Environmental Monitoring with Real-Time Telemetry
Accurate weather data supports better decisions in flood warning, water resource management, agriculture, fire weather, and environmental research. HydroLynx automated weather stations measure the full range of meteorological parameters — wind speed and direction, air temperature, relative humidity, barometric pressure, solar radiation, and precipitation — and transmit data in real time via ALERT2 radio telemetry.
Our weather stations are deployed by federal, state, and local agencies in flood warning networks, agricultural mesonets, fire weather monitoring programs, and environmental compliance systems across the United States.
Wind speed and direction — Durable sensor assemblies with low moment of inertia for fast response to gusts and lulls. Teflon bearings resist icing and corrosion for reliable performance in harsh environments.
Air temperature and relative humidity — Shielded sensor packages that minimize solar radiation effects for accurate readings. Temperature-compensated humidity sensors provide long-term measurement stability.
Barometric pressure — High-accuracy pressure sensors for weather front detection and atmospheric monitoring.
Solar radiation — Pyranometer sensors measuring incoming solar energy for evapotranspiration calculations and energy balance studies.
Precipitation — Integrated tipping bucket rain gauges for concurrent precipitation and weather measurement at a single station.
Complete ALERT2 packaged weather station with 50386 transmitter. Includes wind, temperature, humidity, barometric pressure, and precipitation sensors.
Complete ALERT2 packaged weather station with 50388 two-way transmitter for networks requiring remote polling and diagnostics.
Wind direction (5050WD), wind speed (5050WS), humidity/temperature (2048RH/T), barometric pressure (1522), and solar radiation (4015) sensors.
Model 50386/A2 and 50388/A2 data transmitters support on-site data processing — transmitting averages, maximums, and minimums rather than raw readings.
Unlike simple transmitters that relay raw sensor readings, HydroLynx 50386 and 50388 data transmitters include built-in computational capabilities. Data can be processed on-site before transmission — calculating averages, maximums, minimums, and other derived values. This reduces the volume of data transmitted over the radio channel and delivers analysis-ready information to the base station, reducing the processing burden on central software systems.
HydroLynx weather stations are solar-powered and designed for years of unattended operation. They integrate seamlessly into ALERT and ALERT2 flood warning networks, and can also communicate via SCADA radios, telephone or cellular modems, and GOES satellite transmitters. Multiple communication pathways can be configured simultaneously for redundancy in critical applications.
