[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 ...
The distinguishing features that classify a network of weather stations as a mesonet are station density and temporal resolution with sufficiently robust station quality. Depending upon the phenomena meant to be observed, mesonet stations use a spatial spacing of 1 to 40 kilometres (0.6 to 20 mi) [ 6 ] and report conditions every 1 to 15 minutes.
A Road Weather Information System (RWIS) comprises automatic weather stations (AWS) (often technically referred to as Environmental Sensor Stations (ESS) as they also cover non-meteorological variables) in the field, a communication system for data transfer, and central systems to collect field data from numerous ESS. These stations measure ...
