Tracking stations monitor weather for the prosTurf managers for the Philadelphia Eagles, Miami

Dolphins, Florida Marlins, and Cleveiand Browns arecounting on new professional grade tracking stations,cameras and ground sensors to deliver instantaneous, on-site weather conditions. ,---------------------------------------------------

"The hourly forecasts are extreme-ly helpful," said Rick Wright, directorof field operations for the Dolphinsand Marlins. "We're now able to 'see'approaching storms, even at night,and to alert the owners and coaches topossible threats. Streamer also let's usknow when there's a possible 'window'on a stormy day. No sense in warmingup a player if we're going to be rainedout."

Professional Streamer, aWeatherBug product, delivers liveweather data online, any time, in oneinterface. Team personnel canremotely plan for the next practiceand then equip and prepare the play-ers for the day's activities, such asselecting wet vs. dry practice shoes.Customizable views of playing fieldconditions feature live, neighborhood-level weather and wind readings, localradar, weather contour, satellite, cam-era views, and forecast updates. Panand zoom capabilities enable users toobserve up to five layers of overlap-ping weather data on the same map,including custom data, to forecastpotentially hazardous conditions suchas lightning or tornadoes.

"With live, on-site weather condi-tions at our stadium and training facil-ity, we see significant advantages toeveryone involved with the Eagles,"said Philadelphia Eagles' sports fieldmanager, Tony Leonard. "We'vealready saved time, manpower, andresources by being able to service theplaying field and equip our staff andplayers to suit the weather and playingfield conditions. Now, we can equipand prepare our players for minimalinjury and optimal outcome and dealwith potential weather hazards."

Management can select up to 23warnings for storms, tornadoes, floods,hurricanes, non-precipitation, marineadvisories, fire weather, civil emergen-cies, and more. They can also moni-tor lightning, hail and heavy precipita-tion and set alert thresholds for lowand high temperatures, heat index,average and current wind speeds,wind chill, wind gusts, rain rate anddaily rain accumulation.

The product allows insight to his-torical data, which helps them antici-pate and prevent potential hazardsbased upon past experiences with sim-ilar, hazardous weather conditions.

Leveraging the network of 8,000 WeatherBug TrackingStations nationwide and more than 1,000 cameras, theProfessional Streamer features live weather conditions atthe stadium and training camp grounds. Also, ground

sensors have the added capabilities of monitoring soilmoisture, leaf wetness, and evapotranspiration to bettermanage and maintain their facilities and play surfaces.Edited by Eric Schroder
