Yankee Environmental Systems, Inc. Total Sky Imager TSI-880

The Model TSI-880 Total Sky Imager (TSI) is an automatic, full-color sky imager system that provides real-time display of daytime sky conditions. At many sites, the accurate determination of sky conditions is a highly desirable yet rarely attainable goal. Traditionally, human observers reported sky conditions, resulting in considerable discrepancies from subjective observations. In practice, the use of human observers is not always feasible due to budgetary constraints. The TSI-880 now replaces the need for these human observers under all weather conditions. Unlike the TSI-440 which require a NT workstation to process their images, the TSI-880 is a self-contained system which automatically processes images internally and can be optionally teamed with YESDAQ to store data from networks of remote imagers. In addition to present weather and sky monitoring, it provides and automated real-time panoramic image making it well suited for physical security applications.
