The WeatherHawk weather station is designed for easy installation and use by consumers, educators, students, and resource managers. WeatherHawk is ideal for less demanding applications, not requiring a scientific-grade weather station. WeatherHawk is preprogrammed to provide simple meteorological data; including the formerly complex calculation of ETo (evaporotranspiration), typically used for turf grass management.

The WeatherHawk weather station is supplied with internet compatible Virtual Weather Station software; and is fully assembled including meteorological sensors, a solar panel, and a protective case that houses the on-board microprocessor, solar panel recharged battery pack and spread spectrum radio transmitter. The WeatherHawk weather station and solar panel (supplied) are easy attached to a 1 ¼ to 2" O.D. pole (user supplied).

The WeatherHawk on-board microprocessor automatically measures the sensors, and then stores the data in an on-board data logger before transmitting the data to a (user supplied) remote personal computer (PC). A spread spectrum base station radio is supplied to connect to the PC and receive transmissions from the WeatherHawk weather station. With typical line-of-sight conditions the WeatherHawk spread spectrum radios can transmit over distances of one-half a mile.

User installation is as simple as 1-2-3-4.
1 Remove the WeatherHawk from the shipping box (no assembly is required);
2 Install the WeatherHawk and solar panel on the user supplied pole
3 Attach the spread pectrum base station radio to a serial port on the user supplied PC, or MAC computer.
4 Install Virtual Weather software and turn on the WeatherHawk weather station switch.

Within minutes, a typical user can begin monitoring weather information directly on their PC, and/or remotely over the Internet.
