1. Introduction
The Rain Bird WS-PRO2 Weather Station, when used in conjunction with the Rain Bird Cirrus,
Nimbus II, or Stratus II Central Control system, provides the irrigation professional with a
powerful tool to aid in the growing of lush, healthy, green turf grass, while conserving important
resources, such as water, power, etc.
Rain Bird SmartWeather software interrogates the WS-PRO2 weather station to retrieve
information that has been gathered on a daily basis of the climatic conditions that affect the
irrigation application for the area.
The SmartWeather software subjects the climatic information that it gathers to a version of the
modified Penman Equation. The Penman Equation has been proven through over 35 years of
university research to be one of the most reliable predictors of turf grass water use requirements.
The weather station monitors the following climatic conditions:
l
Rainfall
l
Wind speed and direction
l
Air temperature
l
Relative humidity
l
Solar radiation
The standard WS-PRO2 configuration includes sensors to monitor these conditions, a data
logger to capture this data, a modem to communicate the information to the
SmartWeather
software located on the central control computer, and a power supply.
