An Automatic weather station (AWS) is an automated type of traditional weather station, either to enable measurements from remote areas or to save human labour. The system may report in several different ways. It may be in real -time via a local link to a computer system or via telecommunications or satellite systems. GSM mobile phone technology has also been known to be used. An alternative is the storage of the information in local data storage such as flash memory for retrieval at a later stage. Most automatic weather stations have Thermometer for measuring temperature, Anemometer for measuring wind speed, Hygrometer for measuring humidity, Barometer for measuring pressure. Some of them even have rain gauge for measuring rainfall, ceilometers for measuring cloud height, present weather sensor or visibility sensor.
Despite continual advances in technology Automatic Weather Stations cannot report the class and amount of clouds. Also, precipitation measurements are known to be somewhat problematic, especially for snow, as the gauge must be emptied between readings. For present weather, all phenomena which do notepads inside the small sample range of the sensor, such as patches of fog, remain unobserved.
Early first automatic weather stations needed to be located where there was an availability of electricity and communication lines. In more modern applications of this technology the solar panel, wind turbine and mobile phone technology have made it possible to have wireless AWSs that are not connected to the electrical grid or telecommunications network.
Automatic weather station set a high standard for climatologically and meteorological weather monitoring instrumentation. Configured around a scientific data logger our robust weather stations operate reliably, consuming minimal power from a 12Vdc source and offering a range of telemetry options.
They are used on every continent to reliably capture weather data in some of the world’s toughest environments including freezing Polar Regions, arid deserts, mountainous terrains and offshore oil platforms and wind farms. The main features/benefits of a Campbell Scientific weather monitoring system are: Low power consumption – solar power/battery combination ideal for long term autonomous monitoring Knowing the latest weather conditions is crucial for every boater’s plans.
