The PHILSENSORS
Since 2010, our local experts developed a system of hydrometeorological and early warning stations collectively known as PhilSensors. Over 2,000 PhilSensors were strategically deployed nationwide in vulnerable calamity areas, contributing to providing remote data for weather forecasting, flood monitoring, and agrometeorology
Data collected from these PhilSensors are recorded near-to-real time at the Philsensors website for public use. DOST-ASTI provides historical data sets based on the duration needed by the requestee. DOST-ASTI also allows government and academe institutions to access weather data, both historical and real-time, via Application Programming Interface (API) for forecast and research purposes.
