Construction of a meteorological station for the needs of sports aviation

Abstract

In this research, we are dedicated to the design and construction of our own meteorological station and its use in sports aviation. In the first part of the research, we deal with meteorological elements that occur in the atmosphere and their measurement by instruments. In the next part, we focus on the importance of observing and measuring weather in aviation and we point out situations that may arise due to adverse weather. Subsequently, we describe the devices that we use at our meteorological station. We mention the ranges in which they measure and the ways in which the devices work. Towards the end, we devote ourselves to the design of the prototype of our weather station and its construction and programming for proper functioning. Finally, we compare the measured results of our meteorological station and the meteorological station at the selected airport.
