Campus weather stations can provide real-time weather data for teachers and students, assisting in teaching, research, and daily activity arrangements. Site selection requires comprehensive consideration of multiple factors:

1、 Representativeness of meteorological observations

open spaceIt should be chosen in a relatively open area within the campus, avoiding being obstructed by tall buildings, trees, etc. For example, it is not advisable to approach high-rise buildings as they can affect the measurement of meteorological factors such as wind direction, speed, and sunlight, resulting in observation data that cannot represent the overall meteorological conditions of the campus.

Stay away from sources of interferenceKeep away from heat sources and pollution sources such as boiler rooms, chimneys, and air conditioning outdoor units. Heat sources can cause local temperatures to rise, affecting the accuracy of temperature measurements; The exhaust gas and particulate matter emitted by pollution sources can interfere with air quality monitoring data.

2、 Security

Avoid dangerous areasThe site selection should be far away from dangerous areas within the campus, such as construction sites, near high-voltage lines, etc. Construction sites may have dust, noise interference, and certain safety hazards; There may be electromagnetic interference near high-voltage lines, which affects the normal operation of meteorological station instruments.

Easy to maintainTo consider the daily maintenance and management of the meteorological station, choose a location that is easy for staff to reach and operate. If the location is too remote or difficult to access, it will increase maintenance costs and difficulty.

3、 Environmental adaptability

Consider the terrainWhen the terrain on campus is relatively complex, it is necessary to choose a place with relatively flat terrain. If the terrain is undulating, it may cause local airflow changes, affecting the accuracy of meteorological data.

Adapt to climatic conditionsSelect the site based on the local climate characteristics. In windy areas, the wind resistance capability of meteorological stations should be considered; In rainy areas, it is necessary to ensure that the weather station has good waterproof performance.

4、 Teaching and research needs

Convenient teachingTry to choose a location close to the teaching area to facilitate practical teaching of meteorological observation for teachers and students, and to facilitate students' learning and research based on actual meteorological data.

Beneficial for scientific researchIf the school has relevant meteorological research projects, the site selection should consider the research needs and choose a place that can meet the requirements of scientific observation.
