• Barometric Pressure (QNH, QFE)
• Visibility (MOR, RVR)
• Present Weather (Precipitation Identification)
• Cloud Height and Sky Condition
• Density Altitude
• Runway Surface Sensor
• Solar Radiation
• Lightning/Thunderstorm Detection

The MetObserver AWOS supports multiple sensor sites as required for Category I-III B operations. This includes single or multiple position Runway Visual Range (RVR) systems which can be provided utilizing either dual technology forward scatter visibility sensors or transmissometers.

All MetObserver AWOS sensors are built to the same high quality you would expect from All Weather Inc. All sensors meet or exceed the requirements of the ICAO, WMO and the FAA for airport equipment.
