Overview
Hydrometeorological Monitoring
Hydrometeorological monitoring plays a pivotal role in observing, identifying, assessing, and forecasting weather and climate patterns in a specific region. This system provides essential information for predicting and warning against hazardous meteorological and hydrological phenomena that could cause damage to lives, property, and the environment. It also aids in developing timely response plans. Additionally, the system fulfills the environmental management requirements of both central and local authorities.
Hydrometeorological Observation
Hydrometeorological observation (HMObs) encompasses the collection, measurement, and recording of information related to weather, climate, seawater, and hydrological factors. HMObs is crucial for forecasting weather, floods, quantifying water resources, predicting special hydrological events such as typhoons, storm surges, and flash floods, and serves as the foundation for researching climate change and its impacts on the environment and society.
Necessity of Implementing Hydrometeorological Monitoring Systems
Apart from its role in disaster prevention and flood control, information obtained from hydrometeorological monitoring stations is also utilized for agricultural purposes, providing data for the power industry, and supporting the aviation and maritime sectors in preventing and responding to incidents during operations.
Legal Requirements
Based on the Law on Hydrometeorology and related decrees and circulars, hydrometeorological observation at construction projects and exploitation activities that are affected by or have an impact on hydrometeorological conditions is mandatory. Structures such as seaports and wharves must organize observation and provide information and data in accordance with regulations. The content, regime, and location of hydrometeorological observation for ports include measuring wind direction and speed, sea level, waves, and far visibility at sea with a frequency of 4 times a day or as per usage requirements.
Operation of Hydrometeorological Monitoring Systems
Hydrometeorological monitoring systems comprise sensors that directly interact with the atmospheric environment to measure and analyze microclimate parameters. The data is transmitted to a data logger for collection and processing, and then relayed to a control center for analysis and utilization.
Essential Components
Hydrometeorological monitoring systems encompass:
-
- Measuring devices for parameters such as wind direction and speed, temperature, air humidity, solar radiation, atmospheric pressure, rainfall, water level, water flow, suspended sediment content, wave measurement, and salinity.
- Data loggers for data collection and transmission.
- Infrastructure and auxiliary systems (including: electrical cabinets, lightning protection devices, device installation towers/buoys).
The installation and operation of automatic hydrometeorological monitoring station systems not only fulfill legal requirements but also offer numerous practical benefits for weather management and forecasting, contributing to environmental protection and community well-being.
