Overview

This real-time weather sensor installation at active volcanoes in Indonesia supports continuous monitoring in high-risk volcanic environments. The project utilizes Gill GMX-600 sensors to provide accurate meteorological data for hazard assessment and early warning systems.
Indonesia’s volcanic landscape presents a constantly changing environment where weather conditions can directly impact volcanic hazard behavior. To support more resilient monitoring and early warning capabilities, PT Telematika Aset Monitoring (TeAM) has deployed an integrated real-time weather sensor network using Gill GMX-600 at multiple active volcano sites across Indonesia.

These installations provide continuous, real-time data on key meteorological parameters such as wind speed and direction, air temperature, humidity, and atmospheric pressure. The reliable data feeds into advanced monitoring systems, supporting authorities, researchers, and local stakeholders with accurate situational awareness for improved risk mitigation.

Installed Volcano Locations

Weather sensors have been strategically installed at the following active volcanoes:

• Mount Talang – Solok, West Sumatra

• Mount Soputan – Minahasa, North Sulawesi

• Mount Awu – Sitaro, North Sulawesi

• Mount Iliwerung – Lembata, East Nusa Tenggara

• Mount Lewotobi – East Flores, East Nusa Tenggara

• Mount Gede – Cianjur, West Java

• Mount Batur – Karangasem, Bali

• Mount Rinjani – Lombok, West Nusa Tenggara

• Mount Iya – Ende, East Nusa Tenggara

• Mount Ijen – Licin, Banyuwangi, East Java

• Mount Galunggung – Tasikmalaya, West Java

Why This Matters

Active volcanoes are influenced by rapid shifts in atmospheric conditions. Information such as wind direction, humidity changes, and temperature fluctuations helps:

• Improve volcanic ash dispersion modeling

• Support aviation safety

• Feed into early warning systems

• Strengthen disaster risk response plans

By deploying robust sensors like the Gill GMX-6000, TeAM reinforces its commitment to real-time, integrated monitoring solutions that increase clarity for stakeholders across the ecosystem.

Technology Used

Gill GMX-600
These sensors are designed for extreme weather conditions and harsh terrain environments — ideal for volcanic monitoring. The sensors offer high-precision measurement and seamless integration into remote monitoring systems.

Project Outcome

This project expands Indonesia’s real-time weather monitoring capabilities at high-risk volcanic areas. The live data not only enhances situational awareness but also supports proactive decision-making for disaster risk reduction and community safety.
