DEVELOPMENT AUTOMATIC NOAA WEATHER STATION USING RASPBERRY PI AND RTL SDR RECEIVER FOR DEEP SEA FISHERMEN

Abstract

The information regarding weather forecasting is important for public and specifically sea-fearer to be predicted especially on waterways to navigate the ships and vessels. Bad weather can cause ship to collide with each other. Thus, the project was developed to reduce risks and help ships and crews to make decision in operating their ships. Basically, the development of an automatic National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) weather station using Raspberry Pi and RTL SDR receiver for deep sea fishermen” has been introduced to solve this matter. The NOAA weather station is the automatic weather station that is basically will help the fishermen to know the weather condition while at the sea doing the fishing activities. It operates by sending the visible image of the condition of the place when the fishermen set the coordinate which are the latitude, longitude and altitude. Apart from that, the benefit of using this project, it does not require having the internet source to know the condition of the weather so, it will help the fishermen to know the weather condition while on the sea without risk their life. Furthermore, this automatic weather station also can reduce the burden of the fishermen that has no budget to buy it because the price of this project is very affordable.
