Automatic Meteorological Data Collecting System

The automatic data collecting system, as designed, permits automatic sensing and logging of 64 meteorological parameters measured on a 220-foot tower. The design permits simultaneous measurements of all parameters at all levels, with response of the instruments on the order of a few seconds. There is a resultant increase in data accuracy and acquisition, flexibility of observation periods, ease of maintenance and simplicity of operation. With those capabilities, studies requiring large volumes of data on a continuing basis are feasible with existing manpower.
