Abstract
A reference devices system (720) for generating and managing calibration data for sensors used to obtain weather information is provided. The reference devices system (720) includes a plurality of reference devices, wherein a reference device (110) of the plurality of reference devices is configured to be calibrated against a weather station (115) and to serve as a calibration reference for a community device (130).
Claims10
A system comprising:
- a reference device;
- and
- a community device comprising:
- a sensor;
- a processor;
- and
- memory storing instructions that, when executed by the processor cause the system to perform operations including:
- determining a distance between the reference device and the community device;
- in response to determining that the distance is less than a calibration distance threshold, generating a calibration value for the community device based on a calibrated reference device measured value received from the reference device and a first measured value from the sensor;
- in response to receiving a second measured value from the sensor and determining that a calibration persistence period that began when the calibration value was generated is not elapsed, generating a calibrated measured value based on the second measured value and the calibration value, wherein the calibrated reference device measured value is calibrated against a weather station measured value received from a weather station;
- and
- sending the calibrated measured value to a forecasting module configured to generate a value forecasting a condition based on the calibrated measured value.
