TL;DR: Development of an automated weather station with remote data transmission capability is presented and the modular nature of the design allows user to replace the data transmission module by RF link for transmitting data to locations within 100 meters.
Abstract: Development of an automated weather station with remote data transmission capability is presented The complete system consists of three separate modules for data collection, data storage and data communication The modules communicate with each other serially and are controlled by three separate PIC18F452 microcontrollers The data collection module is interfaced to a set of sensors to collect weather parameters such as temperature, humidity, wind speed, wind direction, pressure and rainfall The data storage module saves the captured data in real-time to a micro SD card The data transmission module transmits data to a central station through a GSM or GPRS network The selection of the network takes place automatically before transmitting data The weather data can be viewed in real-time through a graphical user interface (GUI) located at central station The modular nature of the design allows user to replace the data transmission module by RF link for transmitting data to locations within 100 meters

TL;DR: In this paper, the Antarctic Mesoscale Prediction System (AMPS) was used for 4 years (2008-12) with 15-km horizontal grid spacing, and results show that AMPS reproduces the daily correlations in surface temperature and pressure observed between weather stations across the continent.
Abstract: Station siting for environmental observing networks is usually made subjectively, which suggests that the monitoring goals for the network may not be met optimally or cost effectively. In Antarctica, where harsh weather conditions make it difficult to install and maintain stations, practical considerations have largely guided the development of the staffed and automated weather station network. The current network coverage in Antarctica is evaluated as a precursor to optimal network design. The Antarctic Mesoscale Prediction System (AMPS) 0000 UTC analysis is used for 4 years (2008–12) with 15-km horizontal grid spacing, and results show that AMPS reproduces the daily correlations in surface temperature and pressure observed between weather stations across the continent. Temperature correlation length scales are greater in East Antarctica than in West Antarctica (including the Antarctic Peninsula), implying that more stations per unit area are needed to sample weather in West Antarctica compared t...

TL;DR: In this article, a web-based method and system to determine the ambient conditions and/or surrounding or affecting a remote object during its travel, such as a vehicle, animal or individual is presented.
Abstract: A web based method and system to determine the ambient conditions and/or surrounding or affecting a remote object during its travel, such as a vehicle, animal or individual. The system and method include pulling data from the world wide web to determine the travel path of the vehicle. Data from a nearby weather station is used to ascertain the ambient conditions along the travel path. Historical weather data indicative of historical ambient conditions in a geographical location may be stored in memory and used as predictor for travel conditions to be expected and used as a basis for the operation of the vehicle. When weather data is received that is outside of the historical weather data by some predetermined statistically significant amount, the actual data is used to alter the operation of the vehicle during travel.
