The weather station instruments are located on roof of Boebel Hall, with a real-time display on the second floor. The station is a Texas Instruments WLS-8000 using Weather View 32 v6.0 Professional software (we have v7 but the setup is incompatible with v6 and we have to find time to start from scratch for the upgrade)..
All pages are updated every 5 minutes; the "Trends" the "Area" page ; the "Current Text Summary" and the "Past 24-hour" text page. However, all data from outside sources (Satellite, Metar stations) is only updated once per hour.
