The Automated Weather Observing System is a collection of sensors which measure and broadcast weather data to help meteorologists, pilots and flight dispatchers prepare and monitor weather forecasts, plan flight routes and provide necessary information for correct takeoffs and landings. AWOS units provide a minute-to-minute update to pilots by VHF radio or nondirectional beacon. Each hour, AWOS data is available to off-site users by means of telephone communication or satellite uplink. Both federal and nonfederal systems are in service. The Federal Aviation Administration purchased and currently maintains the Federal AWOS equipment. State, local and private organizations buy and maintain nonfederal AWOS units.
