WEATHERPAK Marine Weather Stations for Harsh Environments WEATHERPAK marine weather stations provide professional level meteorological measurements in a compact, rugged, and easy-to-install system. They incorporate the most advanced meteorological sensors available and support critical military, scientific and commercial operations worldwide. WEATHERPAK marine weather stations operate where extreme temperatures, salt spray, exhaust, high winds, fog and heavy rain are frequent. They are built for quick deployment and service with modular components that can be set up or swapped out in a matter of minutes. Coastal Environmental Systems, Inc. offers both standard WEATHERPAK configurations and customized solutions that scale to our customers demanding needs. We consult with customers on all aspects of their project, including: system design, sensor selection, data processing and transmission, telecommunications, power, and installation. Key Features WEATHERPAK Construction WEATHERPAK contains all the standard meteorological sensors and eliminates all cables and connectors. (Cables and connectors are the weakest points on any marine system.) Double O-ring seals fully protect all electronics from the harsh marine environment. Research vessel uses a single-point WEATHERPAK system. Solar-powered WEATHERPAK with rain gauge and lightning detection system installed on offshore buoy. The WEATHERPAK external housing is constructed of Military-Standard 6061-T6 anti-corrosive aluminum, coated with a baked-on thermoplastic resin. Additional sensors can be integrated into the system via a waterproof junction box Installation and Maintenance WEATHERPAK marine weather stations come with Coastal s quick-release mast mount. A WEATHERPAK weather station can be removed or replaced in service in less than 60 seconds. Measurement Integrated GPS and compass calculate both true and relative winds. Dual WEATHERPAK systems report both port and starboard wind data; manual or auto detection of up-wind is available. WEATHERPAK s internal data processor is a fully configurable data logger. Data Transmission Weather data is transmitted to an onboard display and/or integrated to the ship s network. Communication protocols include: NMEA 0183, RS232, RS485, TCP/IP, and more. Integration with radio, mobile, or satellite telecommunications is available. This cruise ship s multiple-point system features WEATHERPAK s port, starboard and aft.
INTERCEPT Software and Touch-Screen Display Coastal provides two options for data collection and display: INTERCEPT Software (for users with their own onboard computer) INTERCEPT software will automatically gather, organize, archive and display data from WEATHERPAK marine weather stations. Software Features Runs on Windows or Linux operating systems Web-based for access from anywhere on a local area network Customized and secure user accounts Intuitive and easy-to read user interface Easily accessible and exportable data logs Graphical display of wind data from all stations * Windows is a registered trademark of Microsoft Corporation.. INTERCEPT touch-screen display for marine WEATHERPAK systems. Tabular summary of weather data from multiple stations (if applicable) Station status information User-configured alerts, alarms and customized diagnostic messages.

Data from these weather stations is used to improve weather forecasts, warnings, and general monitoring of the state of the oceans and climate. Features Include: VOS WEATHERPAK weather stations are completely autonomous and independent of ship s power and navigational equipment. Direct transmission of SYNOP messages via Iridium satellite to servers anywhere in the world. Solar power systems are rated for most latitudes and shipping routes. Mounting hardware is rated for winds of 120 mph (54 m/s). Quick-release technology allows for easy maintenance by port meteorological officers or other shipboard technicians.
