PortWeather Usage¶
Introduction¶
In this section, we are going to describe the PortWeather application usage by means of a 2 video step process that displays the the possibilities of the visualization of the different weather parameters and wind prediction produced by the application. First we are going to describe in brief the Lincoln IoT platform and its possibilities and then the PortWeather Application.
The Lincoln Platform¶
In this section, we are going to describe the Lincoln IoT web platform. The user is able to get an overview of the different options that is able to control using the platform.
The PortWeather application¶
In this section, we are going to describe the PortWeather Application. In general, the port weather application provides local short-term weather forecast, which is very useful for safe sea transportation, especially during rescue operations contributing to the rescue of people at risk in the sea. The application operates using continuous measurements from a meteorological station on a vessel. The meteorological station records automatically all the measurements of its sensors. A Machine Learning algorithm embedded on IoT hardware provides wind speed forecast and warnings.
