The Mindoro State University has conducted training on a new weather monitoring system funded by the Department of Science and Technology (DOST) in Oriental Mindoro province.

The project, called MOSES (Monitoring and Observation of Site-specific E-Weather Stations), uses Internet of Things technology to track local weather conditions. It’s part of a modern research initiative to improve hydrologic response modeling in the Mag-asawang Tubig Watershed.

During the training, participants learned how to operate and maintain the weather stations.

They also practiced basic troubleshooting techniques. The session included hands-on activities and networking opportunities for attendees.

Representatives from the Provincial and Municipal Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Offices of Victoria and Naujan attended, along with students studying disaster-related topics.

For the first time, officials demonstrated the synchronization between a pilot area tower and the project’s operation center.

Project leaders say the training is crucial for the long-term sustainability of MOSES.

They hope the system will enhance disaster preparedness and mitigation efforts in the province.
