PROJECTS
4ONSE Weather Station
4ONSE is the acronym for “4 times Open and Non-conventional technology for Sensing the Environment”, which is a research project carried out by University of Moratuwa, Sri Lanka and University of Applied Sciences and Arts of Southern Switzerland. The project aims at developing an experimental, low budget weather station based on open source technologies – open hardware (Arduino), open software (istSOS), open data (CKAN) and open standards (OGC-SOS standards). The station is able to measure 8 environmental parameters – rainfall, temperature, atmospheric pressure, humidity, solar radiation, wind direction, wind speed and soil moisture. Already, 27 weather stations have been deployed in Deduru Oya basin, which is the selected river basin for this research.
