Abstract
With the vagaries of nature being unpredictable, it’s now more important to have access to weather forecast for short periods of time. Many businesses, including those in agriculture and the fishing industry, depend on an hourly update of the weather. The access to such weather nowcasting data has, until now, been through traditional media like the television, radio, et cetera, while new media of communication such as mobile devices, have been largely unexplored. The advancement in MEMS (Micro Electrical Mechanical System) technology has now brought forth various sensors that are miniaturized and can be integrated or embedded into various other systems used presently. Environmental sensors that measure weather parameters are miniaturized to fit the size of a mobile. The system aims to integrate these sensors along with a mobile device so as to provide the capability of data measurement to the vast population that use mobile devices and thus create regional grid networks. The system aims to use the mobile for updating weather parameters as well to be the focal point of communication of the weather nowcasting information. As a result, the mobile device would provide targeted distribution of the weather information, which is more advantageous than the traditional means of mass distribution of information; also, as mobile technology acts as a focal point of gathering weather related parameters, it provides a twofold advantage for setting up a low cost, region specific weather monitoring system.
