Abstract:

High technology has made it possible to completely automate the collection of weather data. Care must be taken in designing the automated system to generalize the software components thereby avoiding costly reprogramming when new stations or sensors are added. In Nebraska more than 13,000 accesses are made annually to the Automated Weather Data Network.
