Abstract

Few meteorological measurements are available from mountainous or arctic areas because of the difficulty of operating instruments in these environments. The development of an automatic weather station (AWS) capable of measuring the standard meteorological variables and able to operate (using minimal power) in conditions of heavy riming and high winds is described. The summit of Cairn Gorm (1246 m a.m.s.l.) was used as the test site because it has a harsh cold winter climate and is relatively accessible from Wallingford.
