Weather Forecasting Using Arduino Based Cube-Sat

Abstract Weather is the state of atmosphere at a particular time and place with regard to temperature, moisture, air pressure, precipitation etc. Bio organisms need to adapt with the changing atmospheric conditions. It is therefore important to know the atmospheric condition for different applications. The interest is to design an autonomous small cube satellite which can provide the information of weather from anywhere without using Network. Here a hardware model has been designed and implemented. It is possible to provide instant weather report which can be used to compare the data of a place with some different altitude as well as for different time instant. In meteorology, the main objective is to know accurate weather conditions with less human efforts, reliable and efficient data. As the weather varies from place to place and with the altitude, it is difficult to get accurate weather for a particular location. With the advancement of technology, specially embedded system & data acquisition systems, the problem of large set up area and cost has been reduced significantly. Cube–Sat can be set up at home as well as in atmosphere or in space which can provide accurate weather report.
