Automatic Weather Stations [Mar 2012]
Automatic Weather Stations (AWS) are becoming increasingly popular in many applications owing to their becoming more affordable, reliable, having improved data logging capabilities and through the growth in personal computing bringing sophisticated data manipulation and archiving within the reach of all.
Weather Monitoring [June 2011]

Weather Monitoring [Mar 2008]
This article will give an overview of the most widely used meteorological sensors and their strengths and weaknesses. The word ‘sensors’ is here being used a little loosely and will sometimes include transducers, describing the conversion of the measured variable to another. There are innumerable sensor types in use and it is impossible to cover more than a fraction of them. This article does not go into detail concerning more elaborate measurements using optical sensors of parameters such as cloud or visibility nor does it deal with data logging or display, instead the focus is on the sensors commonly used in monitoring weather at or near the surface.
More Than Just Tomorrow's Forecast

The manufacturer in Frankfurt suspends its chocolate production if the temperature rises beyond its summer threshold. Otherwise, the company cannot guarantee the form, appearance and quality of its chocolates.
Monitoring and Forecasting The Weather
Providing predictions for the oceans, the dispersion of pollution, rainfall run-off, climate change and other environmental parameters. The Met Office is best known for weather forecasting. But, as well as a huge range of forecasts for a wide range of purposes around the globe, the Met Office also provides predictions for the oceans, the dispersion of pollution, rainfall run-off, climate change and other environmental parameters.

Always Take The Weather With You
Industrialised processes and society have had a damaging effect on our physical environment over the last few hundred years. There is now increasing evidence to show that they have also had an effect on our weather and its extremes; this is known as climate change. From increasing numbers of weather related catastrophic events, rising sea levels, to changes in our health, these changes in the UK and the world will affect us in a variety of ways.
