The WS-GP2 is a highly versatile, research-grade weather station built around the powerful GP2 Data Logger and Controller. Designed for remote and unattended operation, it offers unparalleled flexibility in sensor configuration, power supply, and communications. Measure standard parameters like air temperature, humidity, wind speed/direction, rainfall, and solar radiation, or expand with a vast array of optional sensors. With seamless integration to the DeltaLINK-Cloud platform and advanced features like SDI-12 support and on-board Penman-Monteith ET calculation, it is the ideal solution for meteorology, agriculture, and environmental research.
Ultimate Flexibility for Advanced Environmental Monitoring
The WS-GP2 Weather Station is engineered for professionals who require reliable, high-quality data from the field. Its core is the sophisticated GP2 logger, capable of handling almost any analog or digital environmental sensor. This modularity allows you to start with a standard configuration and effortlessly expand later with sensors for soil moisture, barometric pressure, UV, PAR, net radiation, and more. Whether deployed in harsh, remote sites for climate change studies or in agricultural fields for irrigation management, the WS-GP2 provides the robustness and accuracy demanded by scientific and industrial applications.
Remote Data Access and Intelligent Cloud Management
Stay connected to your data from anywhere in the world. The WS-GP2 seamlessly integrates with the DeltaLINK-Cloud platform, a secure online system for real-time data viewing, management, and sharing. Through an intuitive dashboard, you can monitor live conditions, generate charts and reports, and share access with collaborators. The system supports remote logger control, allowing you to modify programs, start or stop logging, and manage multiple sites without costly site visits, significantly reducing operational overhead and ensuring continuous data flow.
Key Advantages of the WS-GP2 System
- Modular & Scalable Design: Choose from a wide selection of sensors and easily expand your system's capabilities even after installation to meet evolving project needs.
- Powerful GP2 Data Logger: Features 12 analog inputs, 4 digital inputs, and support for an SDI-12 bus, enabling connection to over 62 SDI-12 sensors for massive data capacity.
- DeltaLINK-Cloud Integration: View and share real-time data remotely on any device, with robust tools for charting, reporting, and multi-user collaboration.
- Advanced On-Board Calculations: The logger computes complex algorithms directly, including the full ASCE/FAO-56 Penman-Monteith evapotranspiration (ETo) equation, degree days, and wind chill.
- Robust and Reliable: Built for long-term deployment in extreme conditions with an IP65-rated logger, proven mast system, and flexible power options (internal batteries, solar, external).
Optimal Installation and Usage
For accurate measurements, install the station on a stable, open site away from obstructions. The included 2m mast with guy wires provides a secure foundation. Use the DeltaLINK software on a PC to configure the logger's program, setting measurement intervals, thresholds, and calculated channels like ETo. For remote sites, a cellular modem gateway and data package are required for DeltaLINK-Cloud connectivity. Regularly check data via the cloud platform and perform routine maintenance on sensors like the rain gauge to ensure ongoing data integrity.
