The weather station network utilizes advanced technology to collect and transmit data in near-real-time. The data is first collected by sensors installed in the weather stations. This data is then stored in a data logger, which is a device that records and stores the data over time. The data logger is connected to a wireless modem, which uses cell towers and satellite technology to transmit the data to the CUNY server. The use of wireless modem technology allows for real-time data transmission, ensuring that the data is available as soon as it is collected. This technology enables us to collect and analyze data more efficiently and accurately, providing valuable insights into weather patterns and their impact on the environment.

This figure depicts a schematic of a weather station, which includes various sensors such as temperature and humidity sensors, a rain gauge, and soil moisture sensors. The station also features a solar panel for power, a data logger for data storage, and a modem for wireless data transmission to the server. This setup enables the collection of precise and detailed weather and environmental data.
