Register your weather station
Weather stations must first be registered on the WiHI platform. Registering a station is necessary for:
- Recording a station's metadata (location, manufacturer, model, etc)
- Obtaining a WiHi ID used to identify data contributions
Guide
Step 1: Sign up
Signing up is easy at WiHi: just log in at stations.wihi.cc (opens in a new tab), even for your first time. WiHi uses email-based authentication. We'll send you a magic link to log into the platform.
Step 2: Add a station
In the profiles (opens in a new tab) page, find the "Add a station" button and fill in the following information for your station:
{
"name": "string", // what you call your station, a nickname
"manu_id": "string", // (required) id uniquely identifying station within originating network (manufacturer, public station network, etc)
"manufacturer": "string",
"model": "string",
"latitude": "float64", // (required)
"longitude": "float64", // (required)
"altitude": "float64",
"network": "string" // if left blank, defaults to "individual". Private companies should set this to their company
}
