Ascend Weather Station

The Ascend Weather Station is a rugged, mid-tier solution designed for industries that need more than basic monitoring but don’t require the full compliance of premium systems like Apex. It combines reliable, precise sensors from across the AEM portfolio of brands to deliver flexible configurations tailored to your specific industry and needs, giving organizations trusted data for safety, efficiency, and compliance.

Vantage is built for reliable, cost-effective weather monitoring at the site level, while Apex is engineered for the highest-precision, WMO- and ICAO-compliant networks. Ascend sits between them — offering rugged, industry-focused monitoring with flexible configurations, scalable deployment, and integration with AEM Elements® 360.

Ascend is designed for utilities, maritime operators, renewable energy producers, and industrial organizations that face weather-related risks. It’s ideal for operations where local, accurate weather data is essential for protecting workers, maintaining uptime, and meeting regulatory requirements.

Yes. Ascend uses durable, low-maintenance sensors with no moving parts, ensuring accuracy in demanding conditions. From high-wind energy sites to salt-exposed ports, it’s built to withstand the environments where many standard weather stations fall short.

Ascend is designed with long-lasting, ultrasonic and solid-state sensors that minimize wear and reduce the need for frequent servicing. Its streamlined design installs easily and requires less ongoing upkeep, helping organizations save time and reduce operational costs.

The u[sonic] line of wind and multi-weather sensors uses ultrasonic measurement to capture wind readings without any moving parts. The sonic sensors enable more accurate data capture and make the WS7 station more reliable for long-term deployments in harsh conditions compared to traditional wind sensors that use spinning vanes or cups.

The rain[e] precipitation sensor combines the characteristics of a weighing sensor and a collecting sensor. That means it’s constantly collecting precipitation and constantly weighing it. By measuring rapid changes in weight, the rain[e] can quantify rainfall, both in terms of volume and rate, with scientific grade accuracy.

The WS7 gets its name from the fact that it measures seven different weather factors with a single sensor: temperature, wind speed, wind direction, relative humidity, barometric pressure, UV radiation, and dew point. That range of capabilities makes it an ideal single-sensor solution for nearly any measurement or monitoring application.

AEM Elements 360 is designed to be secure, scalable, and mobile-ready. This ensures compatibility with a wide range of devices, enabling you to access critical information and collaborate effectively from anywhere.
