Precision Electronic Weather Instruments
Used By National Weather Service Voluntary Observing Ship (VOS) Programs,
Mariners, and Weather Enthusiasts
The Mintaka Innovations product line spans multiple uses — from individuals using an instrument for their personal and/or professional use, for example: sailors, weather enthusiasts, and research groups — to large scale programs that collect weather data from multiple locations, for example: the NOAA VOS Program.
Mintaka’s electronic barographic systems are unique in the marketplace, providing a desired system that integrates real time information with historic data to create accurate and reliable pressure readings in a compact easy to install and use instrument. Mintaka’s instruments are all accompanied by the MintakaCommander Application (Mac & PC) to view, export and analyze data, update the firmware, access additional functionality and integration capabilities.

Barographic Innovation for Unique Applications
Weather Enthusiasts
A perfect automatic weather observation instrument for land-based weather as well as on the seas, Mintaka’s barographic systems provide the ability for meteorological professionals and weather enthusiasts to record accurate atmospheric pressure readings that are integrated with an Internet of Things (IoT) network. Station or Sea Level Pressure readings are calibrated in feet or meters, GPS location and ease of data access and analysis make Mintaka “an absolute must for the mariner and any land-based weather professional or enthusiast.”
National Weather Service Voluntary Observing Ship (VOS) Program
The NOAA/VOS Program has purchased hundreds of Mintaka instruments to assist with their program of observing the world’s weather. The US program services about one quarter of the world’s VOS fleet and data is archived for future use by climatologists and other scientists. One key feature to the NWS choosing Mintaka’s instruments was the close integration with TubroWin+ which the NOAA/VOS uses to send data.
Mariners
Coastal cruisers, circumnavigators, racers and commercial captains alike benefit from Mintaka’s electronic barographic systems as a sought-out alternative to factory installed barometers to predict weather conditions. Compact, easy to install and use, large display, price value, as well as the MintakaCommander application make Mintaka’s products unique for mariners of all.
