Accurate weather and air pollution measurements — and public communication — are more crucial than ever.
Today’s cities face major environmental challenges. Climate change has increased extreme weather events which also affect air quality. Extreme heat and urban flooding have become more frequent, and thunderstorms threaten lives and infrastructure.
From compact air quality and weather sensors to reference grade sensor networks and systems, Vaisala provides instruments and intelligence that helps local authorities, Environmental Protection Agencies and businesses meet these challenges at the local and regional level:
- Increase situational awareness of weather conditions
- Create more accurate weather forecasts
- Improve efficiency of building automation systems
- Better understand the factors that lead to extreme weather and harmful air quality events
Weather resilience
Cities today are looking to protect local communities from the rising number of extreme weather and environmental events resulting from climate change, and accurate measurements are the foundation of resilience.
Our compact weather and air quality sensors, remote sensing instruments, weather stations and thunderstorm tracking service provide accurate, hyperlocal observation data in real time. The data can be used to alert citizens and officials of dangerous conditions such as flash floods, heat waves, high winds and thunderstorms, and to localize and enhance the accuracy of weather forecasts.
Smart cities
Today’s smart cities take a holistic approach to optimizing resources that maximize well-being. Bolstered by advanced technology, the smart city approach focuses on innovation and collaboration.
Discover innovative approaches to measuring air quality and the weather through smart city systems such as connected camera systems and lighting poles, hyperlocal forecasts, and data collection & visualization methods that provide actionable information — automatically.
