Introduction AGIMET Air AWOS is an automated weather observation system that collects, processes and displays meteorological data from sensors located around an airport. The number and type of sensors, and level of hardware redundancy, can be tailored to the individual requirements of any airport, from the most basic uncategorised local airfield to a full CATIII international hub. Weather data is stored and protected in a database, and displayed in real time to ATC controllers, weather specialists and other airport personnel. These displays are configurable to the local requirements of each...

AGIMET Air AWOS ranges for various sets of data. The system is capable of storing at least an entire year of reported data. The system is monitored and managed by easy to use but powerful system health and diagnostic tools. Problems generate visible and audible alarms to warn engineering personnel, although in many cases the system is capable of self-clearing problems and automatically re-starting affected modules. Maintenance and back-up functions are also handled from this terminal. All system hardware is fitted with lightning and power surge protection, and UPS modules can be supplied to...

AGIMET Air AWOS The live data displays allow users to configure visual and audio alarms when pre-selected data thresholds are reached. Sensor and data status is also indicated. Observers and Forecasters can create, edit and disseminate aviation weather reports including METAR, SPECI, local routine and local special. The system can also be set to generate such reports automatically when required. Detail of Live Data Display The system checks the format and data validity of all weather reports before they are issued, and manual observations may be added. AGIMET Air AWOS also contains software...
