Automated Weather Observation System (AWOS)

Optical Scientific was a key player in the development of the National Weather Service (NWS) ASOS system and has over 500 million hours of present weather sensor experience. We have worked with and continue to work with US army, NOAA, ETL, EPA and NASA to develop both sensors and systems.OSI has been word leader in developing intelligent Optical Sensors for monitoring precipitation, present weather, air flow and atmospheric turbulence (Cn2) for over 30 years.We are now proud to offer AWOS AV, fully certified by the Federal Aviation Administration!OSI can provide both FAA certified and Non FAA certified weather stations and systems that can be networked or and or stand alone. The Modular design of our MAWOS design makes the interfacing of new sensors or interfacing to other systems and easy task for OSI engineers. The OSI design is factory configurable for just the sensors needed.

Low Power Automated Weather stations (LP-AWS)
Hazmet-100 portable SAM (Station for Atmospheric Measurement) works with EPA’s ALOHA plume dispersion modeling software)
OWI/APG based weather stations (our optical precipitation gauges can easily be converted into a full blown weather station)

OSI can provide weather monitoring software packages or design a simple package weather station and send out a single string of data to another software program.
