Investigation of Sensors and Techniques to Automate Weather Observations.

Abstract

Several sensors and techniques currently being investigated at the Air Force Geophysics Laboratory as part of its program to automate the observation of weather parameters are described. Included are a lidar cloud-height measuring system, a laser weather identifier, a decision tree approach for determination of present weather, a lidar slant visual range measuring system, and a tower mounted visibility meter approach for determination of slant visual range.
