| 520 | |a The Meteorology Division of the Air Force Geophysics Laboratory developed a computer-based observing system called MAWS(Modular Automated Weather System) to demonstrate the feasibility of automated observing and forecasting techniques using low-cost microcomputers. Scott AFB, Illinois, was chosen as the demonstration site, and operation commenced in January 1977. Instrumentation at five observing sites is polled periodically each minute, and then the data are transmitted on command to the central site over voice grade telephone lines using microcomputers that were designed, built, and programmed by the authors. This use of on-site processing eliminated the need for expensive, high speed lines as well as centralized processing. Instead, a microcomputer in the base weather station acts as a supervisor to the four on-site microcomputers, directing the flow of information throughout the network. Parameters observed automatically include wind, temperature, visibility, pressure, and cloud base height. In addition, short range forecasts of visibility and cloud base height are generated. These data are then displayed on alphanumeric display devices located in operations centers around the base. MAWS data are also continually archived and the capability exists for hard copy printout when desired. (Author) | ||
