| Summary: | The increasing of atmospheric electric field (AEF) in between the swarm and the earth ground have the correlation when lightning occurs with the forging of a cumulonimbus cloud. The lightning activities can be anticipated during the evolution of the atmospheric electric field. The observation for the AEF is usually taken away by using static immobile observation stations with high monetary value of equipment and installation especially for information acquisition. The main hurdle for the researchers is the collection of data saving system. The collections of experimental data are very crucial when it came in bulk or big size of the collected data. In this project a low cost mobile data logger device to record AEF magnitude, humidity, temperature and location coordinate is presented. The device system is designed based on Arduino UNO module and also Arduino 1.0.5 open source software for coding process. The development of low cost mobile data logger device technology for atmospheric field magnitude and recording are still few. It is one the great challenge to explore the new application of multiple implementation of sensors, GPS system and an SD Card for multiple type of detections, which is a cost-effective and low maintenance cost for data monitor and logging system. This diligence will contribute an extra method to meteorologists and researchers as they can monitor and aware any activity during the experimentation. The finding can be motivating the further research on utilizing a portable mobile data logger system as a guide for multi-use system. |
