This manual contains general introduction related reference in operations and maintenance
manual, periodic check sheet for the Aviation weather Observing Station ( AWOS) , prepared
with reference Operation and Maintenance Manual version 1.0 manual provided by
COASTAL ENVIROMENT SYSTEM

Introduction :
AWOS is an automated meteorological system that provides 24/7 weather data used in
production of Hourly Aviation weather reports and special aviation weather reports.

The complete AWOS measure or calculates and reports the following information

• Wind speed
• Wind direction
• Wind gust
• Visibility / Ambient Light
• Cloud Base heights
• Cloud coverage
• Temperature
• Dew point Temperature
• Atmospheric pressure
• Precipitation amount

The AWOS includes both hardware (sensors, data collection equipment, data processing and
display, Cables, backup power sources etc. ) and software( data collector, algorithm processing ,
database , main graphical user interface (GUI). Also referred to as the Observer GUI,
Administrator GUI, Maintenance GUI, message engine and logging engine).

• The General introduction of sensor used in AWOS is described in System overview


Section 1, at Operation and maintenance manual version 1.0 page 2-8.
• General system architecture of system signal and data flow block diagram is in Theory
of Operation chapter at Operation and maintenance manual version 1.0 page 9

• Recommended Preventive Maintenance Schedule from manufacture in Maintenance and


troubleshooting section at Operation and maintenance manual version 1.0 page 21

• Purposed periodic check Sheet has been attached here
