Introduction to AWS330
Vaisala Automatic Weather Station AWS330 is a WMO-compliant,
standard weather station with a set selection of sensors. It highlights the
experience of Vaisala as automatic weather station designer and
manufacturer by combining the high-quality, field-proven reliability of
Vaisala automatic weather stations with ease of use and durable design.
Automatic weather stations automatically measure, process, and store
meteorological data for demanding professional use, from meteorological
and scientific research to synoptic observations. All measurements and
calculations follow WMO guidelines. While operating as standalone
units, compatible Vaisala weather stations can also be connected to form
observation networks.
Vaisala Automatic Weather Station AWS330 requires only a minimal
amount of maintenance and can be depended on to perform effectively in
all weather conditions and climates. The modular design of the station
allows easy integration of additional sensors even after the initial
purchase and permits quick replacement of individual components,
reducing downtime and overall operating cost.
By using the optional Observation Display software, data can be saved
onto a PC and presented in visual format.
