SECTION 1: WeatherBug System Overview
The WeatherBug Weather Station is a stand-alone, fully automated weather
system. The system combines quality weather sensors with microprocessor
controlled data logging, visual displays and the WeatherBug software for
communications and data displays. All WeatherBug stations can be
interconnected through the WeatherBug Network where the automated
communications routines in the software can be used to access, retrieve and
view data from any station on the network.
A schematic overview of the WeatherBug system is depicted in Figure 1.

Figure 1 - WeatherBug System Schematic
The WeatherBug Weather Station is located outdoors, usually on a rooftop or in
an open, unobstructed area to obtain best results. The Weather Station includes
a Wind Sensor to monitor the wind, a Rain Gauge to measure liquid precipitation,
a photocell to measure light and a Sensor Shelter which houses the
Temperature/Relative Humidity (TRH) sensors. The Sensor Shelter serves as
protection for the sensors as well as a radiation shield to ensure accurate
