RTS Weather Web Conventional Observations Product Details See the last 6 surface observations by clicking here. The conventional ground measurements performed at the weather station include wind speed and direction, temperature, dewpoint, relative humidity, pressure, precipitation, cloud height and ceiling, and horizontal visibility. Wind vector components are monitored at the weather station, Base Operations, and the Control Tower on wall mounted gauges.
Wind speed is recorded on a stripchart recorder at the weather station.
An anemometer and direction vane with local readouts is also located at Roi-Namur. There is also network of automated observational systems on Kwajalein Atoll, known as the Kwajalein mesonet . Surface temperature and dewpoint are measured by an H1063 Hygrothermometer located outside and adjacent to the weather station. Relative humidity is derived from these data. The surface pressure is measured by a Vaisala model PA-11 digital barometer located in the weather station.
