Weather Station Koblach - Graphs
Written by Super User
Automatic Weather station with Online-Visualisation via Internet
Monitoring Data, Station SOMMER Messtechnik, Koblach (456m/1,496ft ASL)
The Automatic Weather Station at our company in Koblach illustrates the way our installations are deployed and how the data are displayed online via the SOMMER measurement data server MDS. The MDS generates customised graphs out of the actual values monitored. The graphs can be formatted according to individual needs (width, height, scaling, colour, time series, value limits etc.) and implemented very easily to an existing website.
The transmission of the data measured is realised via internet connection (TCP/IP) between the weather station and the MDS-server. After logging in to the MDS-server the user is able to choose from various possibilities of graphical illustrations. The full information about the weather station at SOMMER Messtechnik are also available via a demo access to the MDS.
Weather Forecast Tool
As an optional feature SOMMER can also offer a solution to integrate a weather forecast with the measured data of the MDS. In order to do so we use the forecasted data of your local station from a weather forecast service. The line graphs are then prolonged until the end of the prognosis period, like for example with our SOMMER weather station below. The prognosis period here is 72 hours. The blue line represents the actually measured data, the red one the forecasted data.

Milestones of a dynamic corporate development
Back in the mid-1980s the company founder, Mr. Wolfram Sommer, made the step to start his own business. At the beginning still together with a corporate partner, Sommer GmbH & Co KG became an independent company in 1997 and was renamed to Sommer GmbH – better known as SOMMER Messtechnik – in 2013. In the early years the business focus was clearly on the so called home marked, that is Austria, Germany and Switzerland, whereas toady SOMMER holds his ground in a global environment while still being an owner-managed family business. Meanwhile our international sales covers numerous countries around the world and on all continents.
