In today’s world of ‘Data at Finger Tips’, sensors
have become ubiquitous, their applications have become
numerous and this data is required round the clock and on-thego. The data picked up by the sensors is delivered to end-user in
real time by IoT and further utilised for real time reports, off-line
analysis and data aggregation. This review paper focuses on the
different types of IoT sensors used for monitoring of atmospheric
parameters. Sensors aided by wireless networking are the
backbone of nowcasting and prevailing trends at any given area.
IoT sensors data combined with satellite data and operational
models enhance accuracy and expedite weather predictions. IoT
data enable validation and updating of atmospheric depression
models. Comprehensive study of sensors has been carried out and
consolidated in this paper for ready reference by all stakeholdersMeteorological department, pollution control board, Nondestructive testing and evaluation of corrosive elements in
atmosphere, farmers and horticulturists, to name a few.
