Automated Weather System |
We purchased the Automated Weather Service system in 2001 with a DOE
Lighthouse Technology Grant. Several years later the equipment was
damaged, and the curriculum moved into grade 5! AWS has fixed the
equipment for free, and we are no part of a national weather system to
help track the path of major storms such as hurricanes. Thank you AWS!!!!
