Automatic Weather Station (AWS)

An Automatic Weather Station (AWS) is a self-operating device that measures various weather conditions such as temperature, humidity, wind speed and direction, and atmospheric pressure. It collects real-time data automatically and transmits it to weather forecasting centers for analysis. AWS devices are typically placed outdoors in open areas to provide accurate and continuous weather monitoring without human intervention. This technology helps meteorologists forecast the weather more precisely, supporting daily activities, agriculture, transportation, and disaster preparedness. Overall, AWS enhances our understanding of atmospheric conditions through reliable, uninterrupted data collection.
