Automated surface observing system

Compact airport-style automated surface observing station installed on a small ground platform or equipment pad, with a short metal mast or slender tower supporting multiple sensor arms. The station includes a boxy central electronics cabinet or small white instrument enclosure, an anemometer with cups, wind vane, thermometer or temperature probe housing, visibility sensor, precipitation gauge, cloud-monitoring instruments, and a simple antenna. Components are metallic gray and white with a clean industrial scientific appearance, arranged as a tidy clustered weather-observing site, sometimes shown with a fenced pad or small support legs.
