The MAWS (mobile automatic weather station) series
of small weather stations are new generation AWSs
(automatic weather stations) for both permanent
installations as well as for those applications requir-
ing portability. MAWS features high performance
fitted into a very compact package. Imbedded with
sophisticated technology, yet easy to use, MAWS is
the ideal choice for a wide range of applications
requiring reliable and accurate meteorological
measurements and low cost-of-ownership.
FEATURES
 Compact, portable, and light- weight
 Easy to install, configure, and maintain
 Low power consumption for extended operation
 Reliable and accurate
 Extensive software capability
 Multiple serial ports for display and telemetry
options.
MAWS IS USER FRIENDLY
MAWS is easy to set up. All sensors are equipped
with ready-made cables and connectors for easy
installation. Components fit together with ease: no
special tools are needed. Once assembled, simply
connect the power and MAWS will be fully opera-
tional. Sensor measurements, calculations, data
logging, and data transmission will be performed
according to the user- configured program.
The operation of MAWS can be easily modified with
the help of the user-friendly "Lizard" program. Using
the ready-made templates, this program guides you
through the simple setup routines. Not only is it easy
to use, but there are enough setup options to satisfy
even the most demanding user.
MAWS IS ACCURATE
Utilizing Vaisalas recognized expertise and field-
proven design, MAWS provides features previously
seen only in larger systems. The accurate measure-
ments begin with the sensors.
The basic suite of sensors measures wind, pressure,
temperature, relative humidity, and precipitation. In
addition, other sensors such as, soil/water
temperature(s), solar radiation, net radiation and
water level can be added. The sensors are derived
from the same field-proven instruments that Vaisala
has developed for demanding customers such as the
FAA and the military. The use of a 32-bit CPU, a 16-
bit A/D conversion, and advanced software ensure
the continuous accuracy of your weather information.
MAWS 101 saves you time and money when install-
ing, using, and maintaining a basic AWS. Due to its
lightweignt compact design there is no need to install
large concrete foundation.
MAWS 101 comes either by itself in its compact
enclosure or with a three meter mast. By itself it is
ideal for customer-specific installations where the
standard tripod or mast installations are not viable
solutions.
