AWOS is a system for collection, handling, presentation and editing of meteorological information. It is used in connection with the transmission of MET REPORT/SPECIAL, METAR/SPECI and SYNOP.

 

Sensor independent

AWOS can operate fully automated at e.g. remote helicopter sites or can be operated semi-automatic in e.g. a MET office.

 

Due to the unique and flexible design, AWOS is sensor independent. It operates with the airport's current sensors and continues to operate if sensors are upgraded. The system can interface to most meteorological sensors, including Vaisala and AllWeather.

 

Unique observation principle

AWOS is based on a unique observation principle, where the transmission of all reports is based on a meteorological central observation.

 

The central observation can be regarded as a kind of template which AWOS uses to create the individual reports according to the codebooks from a common source of data. Weather observers are allowed to edit the meteorological information at a central location, and thus making the changed data valid in all of the reports, rather than changing each report.

 

Data received automatically from the sensors can be manually overruled if necessary.
