AWOS I: wind speed and wind gusts (in knots), wind direction (from which the wind is blowing) and variable wind direction (in degrees of the compass), temperature and dew point (in degrees Celsius), altimeter setting and density altitude.

AWOS A: barometric pressure and altimeter setting (in inches of Mercury).

The following AWOS configurations are defined below in terms of what parameters they measure: This option is only available for AWOS III or IV systems (see below). These messages are currently in METAR format, and typical reporting frequencies are once every 20 minutes.

Optionally (but frequently done), AWOS messages may be transmitted to the FAA for national dissemination via computer.

The message is updated at least once per minute.

Optionally, a computer-generated voice message, available over a telephone dial-up modem service.

The message is updated at least once per minute, and this is the only mandatory form of weather reporting for an AWOS.

A computer-generated voice message which is broadcast via radio frequency to pilots in the vicinity of an airport.

ĪWOS systems disseminate weather data in a variety of ways: FAA owned AWOS-C units in Alaska are typically classified as AWOS-C IIIP units while all other AWOS-C units are typically classified as AWOS III P/T units. The AWOS-C is functionally equivalent to the ASOS. The AWOS-C is the most up-to-date FAA owned AWOS facility and can generate METAR/SPECI formatted aviation weather reports.

The FAA completed an upgrade of the 230 FAA owned AWOS and former automated weather sensor systems (AWSS) systems to the AWOS-C configuration in 2017. The automated weather observing system ( AWOS) units are mostly operated, maintained and controlled by state or local governments and other non-federal entities and are certified under the FAA non-federal AWOS Program. These include the automated weather observing system ( AWOS) and the automated surface observing system ( ASOS).Īutomated weather observing system (AWOS) In the United States, there are several varieties of automated weather stations that have somewhat subtle but important differences.
