Description A state of are automatic weather station has been developed primarily to support, research programs on oceanographic and climatic studies. The basic system includes a suite of sensors for measurement of wind velocity, air temperature, barometric pressure, solar radiation and relative humidity. The system has been designed for meteorological measurements on land and from oceanographic ships. Innovative mechanical packaging and use of surface mount device (SMD) technology has resulted in an extremely portable and compact package, facilitating ease of installation and handling. The data acquisition unit incorporates a 32 bit microcontroller, Motorola MC 68832. Use of FLASH memory devices support in situ software programmability. The basic system supports options for data retrieval using UHF/VHF transceivers. The paper describes the design aspects and analysis of a typical data set collected using the weather station.
