Abstract
Atmospheric conditions represent one of the most significant natural hazards for floating units. A critical issue related to these conditions is the insufficient attention given by watch officers to accurately collecting atmospheric data from the instruments on the bridge. For instance, air pressure readings are often taken without proper corrections for instrument and altitude variations and are rarely compared to long-term averages. To address this, there is a pressing need to develop and install a system on floating units that can automatically measure atmospheric parameters. This system would calculate essential parameters from the measured data, enabling informed decision-making regarding maneuvers to avoid rough seas. This research discusses the details of establishing an automatic meteorological station capable of collecting atmospheric data from the environment, storing it in a computer, and comparing the measurements with long-term averages to identify atmospheric and oceanic anomalies.
