Measuring diurnal atmospheric tides with a PA-II-SD sensor

There is a documented phenomenon called the diurnal atmospheric tide. This tide is caused largely by the Sun’s UV radiation on the atmosphere’s ozone layer. One measurable effect of this is in daily pressure variations. These variations can be seen in data worldwide in the form of two daily peaks of atmospheric pressure. These peaks were also found in data taken from a PA-II-SD sensor, which contains a BME280 pressure sensor, documented as a highly reliable and accurate pressure sensor. The close correlation between the data recorded by this sensor and documented international data proves the reliability of the pressure sensor. This particle sensor is also useful for detecting and modeling local weather variations, such as temperature, humidity, and particulate matter concentrations.
