The Weather Page was developed as a student project for the course of CS480 as well as an effort to enrich the content of department's home page. Almost two month later, I got all I need to build this weather station. External hardware consists of a monitor, an outdoor temperature sensor, a wind sensor and a cable connecting the monitor and a computer. Date collected by sensors is transmitted to a computer and processed by a software called Prescience 2000 Monitor.
All results are display on the weather page.
But the hardware allows later expansion. As much as three more sensors can be installed if people have interests. Had those sensors installed, the weather station can provide a complete picture of the current condition and even a short-term forecast.
