The air quality sensor is designed to measure the levels of various gases and particles in the air. It’s particularly effective at measuring PM1 concentrations, which are often associated with combustion sources like traffic, wood burning, and wildfires. For PM2.5, the sensor excels in detecting concentrations that are primarily influenced by long-distance transport. Finally, this air quality sensor accurately measures PM10 concentrations, which are typically caused by abrasive processes like road dust, sandstorms, construction, and mining.

Real-time water vapor profiles are essential for improving severe weather forecasting and climate modeling. By providing accurate information about water vapor distribution in the atmosphere, these profiles allow for earlier and more precise public alerts about potential severe weather events.

The company provides accurate and timely measurements of cloud height and visibility to develop precise weather forecasts, maintain situational awareness, and provide reliable air quality reports.
