An automated Weather Station (EE-WMS) is built at the component level to provide an organization with the
instruments it needs to meet its measurement objectives. The versatility of this automated weather station is
evidenced in your ability to add, remove, or substitute sensors or other peripherals as your data measurement
and monitoring needs change.
Weather variables such as wind speed and direction, air temperature, humidity and rainfall may all be important
factors in determining the course of a wide range of events. For example, agriculture has always been heavily dependent on the weather and weather forecasts, both for its control on the quality and quantity of a harvest and
its effect on the farmer’s ability to work the land or to graze his stock. Water resources generally depend critically
not just upon rainfall, but also other weather phenomenon that together drive plant growth, photosynthesis and
evaporation. Just as pollen and seed dispersal in the atmosphere are driven almost entirely by the weather, so
too is the direction and distance of travel of atmospheric pollution.
