Please note before installing:

Many Android devices do not have pressure sensor capabilities. While we will try our best to target devices that have this capability, it is possible that we will miss a few. This is an early launch of PressureLog so there will be some bugs.

Join the PressureLog network to join our research initiatives this severe weather season! During the 2018 severe weather season, the Tornado Puncher team will be deploying to gather data within severe storms throughout the United States.

The purpose of the the PressureLog app is to provide a unique way for the public to get involved and help collect data on a large scale. You will be able to view data from the Tornado Puncher team in the field as well as view data from a network of devices you can easily setup!

PressureLog allows you to easily setup a network of devices to view pressure trends from multiple locations with android devices that have pressure sensors enabled.

We have built a Raspberry Pi application that uses BMP180 and DHT22 sensors. Setup a powerful home or travel weather station that collects pressure, temperature, humidity & dewpoint. With the Raspberry Pi application, you can send data to the PressureLog network and view data from a combination of Android and Raspberry Pi devices!

Research-

By collecting data from a wide array of devices, we can study pressure differentials from several types of severe weather. We will be testing the mobile pressure sensors this spring by deploying in close proximity to supercells and severe squall lines. The goal is to determine if a wide scale use of mobile pressure sensors can help to detect severe weather and improve forecasting.

When severe weather is in the forecast, you can monitor pressure trends while at the same time join the research network when you record data to the pLog. If you happen to be unfortunate enough to be in close proximity to a tornado this season, the data you collect could be extremely useful in our pressure differential research.

Whether severe storms are in the forecast or not, PressureLog provides you a way to keep track of your pressure trends. If you record data to our pLog, you will be able to view pressure trends over an extended period of time. Record data to CSV files for use in your own plotting applications.
