Stratus
A backcountry weather advisor.
Storms in the alpine are dangerous because weather changes fast. High winds, lightning, and exposure can turn a safe ascent into a life-threatening situation with very little warning.
The device must record atmospheric conditions and predict major changes, providing clear alerts when they occur.
Temperature
How hot or cold
the atmosphere is
This helps identify
unstable condition and
Influences dew point and
precipitation type.
Atmospheric Pressure
Weight and
density of the air
Sharp pressure gradients
help detect approaching
cold/warm fronts.
Humidity
Amount of water
vapor in the air
Humidity is used to
calculate dew point, the
temperature at which
moisture condenses.
