OSI AWOS AV™ system is a fully automated aviation weather observing and reporting system designed to support airborne and ground users. This FAA-certified AWOS is equipped with dual-pressure sensors and visibility sensors for determining official altimeter settings and visibility, Reporting is via FCC-licensed VHF data radio, Unicom, Internet, or land line.

A basic OSI AWOS AV™ system consists of: FAA-approved barometric pressure sensors FAA-approved visibility sensor.
It can be enhanced with: Wind speed/direction sensor Temperature sensor Humidity sensor Ceilometer

The OSI AWOS is a best - value aviation weather system offering high performance at reasonable cost. The system may be configured for all size airports ranging from small landing strips and helipads to international airports.

Optical Scientific Inc. (OSi) makes remote sensing optical sensors that measure flow, crosswinds and turbulence by simply "watching" the air flow past our measurement path. If you want to see a little 30 second clip of turbulent airflow (that is around you 24/7 but you can't see it) then click on the link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mrf1oxmMoxA --- enjoy :-)

Through use of a collimated laser light source and special camera, it is possible to literally "see" the wind as it moves from right to left. This movement o...
