THE TACTICAL, MANUAL METEOROLOGICAL STATION, AN/TMQ-23

Abstract

The continuing need to obtain surface meteorological measurements initiated the development of the Meteorological Station, Manual AN/TMQ-23, a portable weather station readily conveyed and operated by one observer. A brief discussion of the technical performance, engineering accuracy and human engineering characteristics of the battery powered, lightweight weather station which contains sensors necessary for the measurement of surface meteorological parameters is presented. The measurable parameters applicable to the meteorological station include dew point/or frost point temperature ambient air temperature, wind speed and direction and atmospheric pressure. A review of the environmental and field test program is presented.
