Not only are we committed to taking every measure for the planet, but also taking every measure to meet our customers' needs. ⭐ 10 years ago we delivered 17 weather stations to Panama Canal Authority (ACP). One of the locations was very remote and inaccessible by any motorized vehicle. It turned out, that the best solution was to deliver the weather station to the designated location on horseback through the jungle. The horse was happy to take the weather station to its hilltop for which it was rewarded with a handful of carrots. Today, when the Panama Canal is at its all-time low due to the long dry season, the weather station still delivers accurate weather information that enables smooth and weather-aware operation of the canal. #TakingEveryMeasure #Vaisala #PanamaCanal #Throwback

The Science Based Targets initiative has approved our emission reduction targets. Scope 3 emissions make up over 99% of Vaisala's emissions. This includes, for example, the use of sold products, purchased goods and services, and logistics. With the scope 3 emissions, we are committed to more than halving our emissions per gross profit by 2030 (base year 2021) 🎯 Read more about this and our other emission reduction targets 👉 https://bit.ly/3TVv9FN #TakingEveryMeasure #Vaisala #SBTi The SBTi is a partnership between the United Nations Global Compact, the World Resources Institute (WRI), the World Wide Fund for Nature (WWF), and the Carbon Disclosure Project. It provides companies with a clearly defined path to reduce emissions in line with the Paris Agreement goals

What happens when data and art merge? ☁️ The new exhibition in Helsinki’s Amos Rex museum – The Cloud of Un/knowing by Finnish artist Josefina Nelimarkka, addresses this. And it’s powered by Vaisala’s technology. Vaisala's Beam Weather Station BWS500 and Xweather Observe provide the exhibition with real-time data about local weather conditions and air quality. Curious guests can spot the weather station on top of Amos Rex! For Finnish readers, see what Helsingin Sanomat thought of the exhibition here: https://lnkd.in/gUHDUKHW 📷 Josefina Nelimarkka: The Cloud of Un/knowing.

While it's impossible to completely eradicate wildfires, with accurate weather forecasting and monitoring solutions it's possible to reduce their impact on ecosystems, homes, critical infrastructure, and ultimately, lives. 🛡️ In our blog, Vaisala’s Head of Energy, Urban & Industry Erik Sucksdorff explores how technology can help us prevent and prepare for wildfires and other extreme weather – and how measurement data enables a measurable impact on people and the planet.

We're excited to unveil the AQT560 by Vaisala, marking a significant milestone in air quality monitoring. With a PM detection range starting from 0.3 microns, this sensor is poised to play a crucial role, especially as we enter wildfire season in the US and later in southern Europe. Its ability to monitor wildfire smoke particles provides invaluable insights into air quality dynamics. To complement highly accurate but expensive and bulky reference-grade measuring stations, the compact and affordable AQ sensors offer a great way to get important additional data points, giving a higher-resolution picture of how air quality develops. This is a proud moment for us as we continue our commitment to advancing environmental monitoring.

In the next 2 years, heat waves, wildfires, tropical cyclones, and other extreme weather events pose the second largest risk globally, according to World Economic Forum Global Risk Report 2024. In the 10-year time frame, they are the largest risk. The best way to prepare for extreme weather events and lessen their impact is to have accurate forecasts that enable, for example, evacuations in the affected regions. We are proud to contribute to extreme weather mitigation with our over 85 years of expertise in developing and deploying weather monitoring stations around the globe enabling weather-safe societies.

Yesterday in Bilbao, we partnered with our renewable energy customers to discuss the future of the industry. Through such discussions, we gain invaluable insights about the needed technological developments that shape the future of our offering and the energy transition. Today we are participating in WindEnergy Europe, which also takes place in Bilbao. Keep an eye out for our presentations there as well!
