Presentation Transcript

  1. Atmospheric Sciences 370 Observing Systems

  2. ASOS: Automated Surface Observing System

  3. Hydrothermograph

  4. Precipitation Gauges

  5. Laser Weather Identifier

  6. Anemometer Wind Vane Laser Ceilometer

  7. The ASOS Freezing Rain Sensor uses an ultrasonically vibrating probe to detect the presence of icing conditions. The vibrating frequency of the probe decreases with the accumulation of ice.

  8. Lightning Sensor Visibility Sensor

  9. Full ASOS system in Arizona

  10. Other Surface Networks Bureau of Land Management RAWS

  11. Schoolnet Sites by AWS

  12. Marine Reports

  13. Ocean and Lake Weather Buoys Anchored

  14. Drifting Buoys Pressure Wind

  15. Coastal Marine (CMAN) Reports from the Coast Guard

  16. Northwest Buoy and CMAN Locations

  17. Ship Reports: Marine VOS Program Volunteers Observers--generally 6-hourly reports

  18. Satellite Microwave Scatterometer Winds

  19. QuickScat Satellite Bounces microwaves off the ocean surface Capillary waves dependent on wind speed and direction

  20. Upper Air Data

  21. Radiosonde

  22. Radar Wind Profiler and RASS (Radio Acoustic Sounding System)

  23. Seattle Profiler/RASS

  24. ACARS: Aircraft Observations Generally on wide-body aircraft Aircraft Communications Addressing and ReportingSystem

  25. Cloud and Water Vapor Track Winds Based on Geostationary Weather Satellites
