A new station has been established on the largest drilling platform in the Middle East, located 13.5 kilometers off the Amirabad coast in the Caspian Sea.

The launch of this station will enable the measurement and recording of valuable meteorological and marine data, thereby enhancing marine meteorological services in the northern part of the country.

This station monitors and records various meteorological parameters, including air temperature and humidity, radiation, precipitation, horizontal visibility, wind direction, and wind speed, IRNA reported.
