Automatic Weather Station Components Explained
Choosing the right AWS components depends on site requirements, maintenance access, and the operational decisions your team needs to support.
Core sensors
Typical aviation and meteorological AWS deployments include anemometers, wind vanes, temperature and humidity probes, barometers, rain gauges, and visibility sensors.
Data acquisition
Sensor signals are collected by dataloggers or embedded controllers, timestamped, buffered locally, and transmitted through MQTT, HTTP, or radio links depending on connectivity.
Deployment considerations
Sensor height, exposure, grounding, calibration intervals, and maintenance access all affect data quality. MSK Developers designs installations with these factors in mind from day one.
