Aviation Automated Weather Observation System (AV-AWOS).

Abstract

The test results of the Aviation Automated Weather Observation System (AV-AWOS) at Newport News, Virginia, are presented. The rationale for the cloud and visibility algorithms is discussed. Verification of these algorithms is presented. The algorithms for converting sensor data to automated observations of cloud height, sky cover, and visibility are specified. Tabulation of the user reactions to an automated observation is presented. (Author)
