We have installed and operated three Automatic Weather Stations (AWS) and three Air Quality Monitoring Stations (AQMS) in Surabaya, Indonesia, since 2017.

A. Automatic Weather Stations (AWS)

Since 2017, an expanding network of Automatic Weather Stations (AWS) has been deployed across strategic locations in Surabaya to monitor real-time meteorological conditions. These stations are integrated into the Weathercloud global network, enabling public access to hyperlocal weather data. Key installations include:

1. Stasiun Keputih Permai (Keputih)

   • Monitors parameters: Temperature, humidity, wind speed/direction, rainfall, barometric pressure.

   • Weathercloud link: Keputih – Weathercloud | Global network of weather stations

2. Stasiun ITS Kampus Sukolilo

   • Tracks weather patterns in the Sukolilo campus area, supporting academic research and urban climate studies.

   • Weathercloud link: ITS Kampus Sukolilo – Weathercloud | Global network of weather stations

3. Stasiun ITS Kampus Manyar

   • Focuses on microclimate analysis in the Manyar region, aiding infrastructure planning and environmental management.

   • Weathercloud link: ITS Kampus Manyar – Weathercloud | Global network of weather stations

These AWS units provide critical data for weather forecasting, disaster preparedness, and climate research, with open accessibility to promote public engagement.

B. Air Quality Monitoring Stations (AQMS)

Since 2019, Air Quality Monitoring Stations (AQMS) have been operational in Surabaya to assess pollution levels and support air quality management. These stations are part of the IQAir global network, offering real-time Air Quality Index (AQI) updates. Key installations include:

1. Stasiun Benowo SAQI

   • Measures pollutants: AQI US, AQI CN, PM2.5 (ug /m3), PM10 (ug /m3), CO2 (ppm), Temperature (Celsius), Temperature (Fahrenheit), and Humidity (%)

   • IQAir link: SAQI – Benowo Air Quality Index (AQI) and Surabaya Air Pollution | IQAir

2. Stasiun Keputih SAQI

   • Tracks industrial and residential emission impacts in the Keputih area.

   • IQAir link: SAQI – Keputih Air Quality Index (AQI) and Surabaya Air Pollution | IQAir

3. Stasiun ITS Surabaya SAQI

   • Monitors campus air quality, supporting academic studies on urban pollution.

   • IQAir link:  SAQI – ITS Campus Air Quality Index (AQI) and Surabaya Air Pollution | IQAir

These AQMS units help identify pollution hotspots, inform public health advisories, and guide policy interventions.
