Weather events put human lives at risk mostly when people might occupy areas susceptible
to natural disasters. Deploying Professional Weather Stations (PWS) in vulnerable areas is
key for monitoring weather with reliable measurements. However, such professional
instrumentation is notably expensive while remote sensing from a number of stations is
paramount. This imposes challenges on the large-scale weather station deployment for
broad monitoring from large observation networks such as in Cemaden—The Brazilian …

Weather events put human lives at risk mostly when people might reside in areas
susceptible to natural disasters. Weather monitoring is a pivotal task that is accomplished in
vulnerable areas with the support of reliable weather stations. Such stations are front-end
equipment typically mounted on a fixed mast structure with a set of digital and magnetic
weather sensors connected to a datalogger. While remote sensing from a number of stations
is paramount, the cost of professional weather instruments is extremely high. This imposes a …
