About the ANEMOS

A rugged, solid-state weather station that goes up on a vehicle or a tripod in minutes.

How it works

This rugged, vehicle-mounted weather station continuously samples environmental data every 10 seconds and transmits it in real time to the vehicle’s onboard iPad/MDT. The unit is secured with a quick-release roof mount to any ground vehicle and operates hands-free, capturing wind and weather data that is instantly shared across team devices and stored in the cloud.

Recharge easily via USB Type A cable (24hrs battery life on ~3hrs charge).

Using the data
Teams

Easily set up teams for data to sync automatically to a single cloud database. Data will transfer and refresh regularly as it is sampled when signal is available to be usable by all team members (or as defined by the team lead)

Data can also be shared cross-teams readily when collaborating in the field. Access can be scoped to the single event or geo-based.

In the Field

Data is sampled every 10s, and critical shifts in conditions trigger immediate alerts. Firefighters receive real-time alerts for sudden wind, temperature, and humidity shifts, helping them respond faster to emerging threats. Live data is viewable on a shared map and synced automatically when signal is available.

Exporting Data for Predictive Models

Teams can export historical data seamlessly into wildfire prediction models for smarter decision-making. Data is readily exportable in customizable formats (CSV, JSON, GRIB, NetCDF, XLSX). Data can also be accessed through the API.

Data for Workers’ Comp Reports

Air quality data (PM 2.5 and PM 10) at a firefighter’s operational and overnight locations can be grabbed to round out workers’ comp reports.

API

RESTful API for other software to integrate and use sensor data on their own maps if you enable permissions.

The software

RidgeOps: The app

The app that runs the sensors, the map and the org — on iOS, Android, tablet and browser.

Open ridgeops.ai iOS Android
ANEMOS sensors & alerts

The app connects and manages sensors directly and within the org. View sensor data in real-time and get critical alerts to dangerously changing conditions

Manual readings

Easily add manual readings to the org’s map, which will be geo-tagged and fade over time. These include:

  • Fuel stick
  • Psychrometer
  • Anemometer
  • Visual
  • Lightning
  • Other
Data export for reports and models

All sensor and manual reading data can be downloaded or exported in a variety of formats, from CSVs to standard FD report formats. Furthermore, all the data is accessible via API for integration with other apps.

Layer overlays

RidgeOps pulls national database data for a variety of useful map overlays:

  • Precipitation Radar
  • FIRMS Hotspots
  • WFIGs Perimeters
  • Red Flag Warnings
  • Lightning Warnings
  • Temperature (regional)
  • Wind (atmospheric)
Command ops tools

A variety of tools are available to communicate operations details to the team (top-down, or approve field team additions). These include everything including:

  • Spot: hazard, team, and engine spot locations
  • Lines: Fire perimeter and dozer lines
  • Zones: evac zones and fuel breaks
