2. Automated airport weather station - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Automated_airport_weather...

   Airport weather stations are automated sensor suites which are designed to serve aviation and meteorological operations, weather forecasting and climatology. Automated airport weather stations have become part of the backbone of weather observing in the United States and Canada and are becoming increasingly more prevalent worldwide due to their ...

3. Automatic weather station - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Automatic_weather_station

   An automatic weather station (AWS) is an automated version of the traditional weather station, either to save human labor or to enable measurements from remote areas. [1] An AWS will typically consist of a weather-proof enclosure containing the data logger , rechargeable battery , telemetry (optional) and the meteorological sensors with an ...

4. Weather station - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Weather_station

   Personal weather stations have become more advanced and can include many different sensors to measure weather conditions. These sensors can vary between models but most measure wind speed, wind direction, outdoor and indoor temperatures, outdoor and indoor humidity, barometric pressure, rainfall, and UV or solar radiation.

5. Meteorological instrumentation - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Meteorological_instrumentation

   The 20th century developed new remote sensing tools, such as weather radars, weather satellites and wind profilers, which provide better sampling both regionally and globally. Remote sensing instruments collect data from weather events some distance from the instrument and typically stores the data where the instrument is located and often ...

6. List of weather instruments - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_weather_instruments

   Weather stations typically have these following instruments: Thermometer for measuring air and sea surface temperature; Barometer for measuring atmospheric pressure; Hygrometer for measuring humidity; Anemometer for measuring wind speed; Pyranometer for measuring solar radiation; Rain gauge for measuring liquid precipitation over a set period ...

7. Present weather sensor - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Present_weather_sensor

   The present weather sensor (PWS) is a component of an automatic weather station that detects the presence of hydrometeors and determines their type (rain, snow, drizzle, etc.) and intensity. It works on a principle similar to a bistatic radar , noting the passage of droplets, or flakes, between a transmitter and a sensor.
