The objective of this study was to find suitable hardware and design and implement software for an automated weather station.
The weather data needed to be presented in a format suitable for recreational uses, such as windsurfing and sailing.
Reports and graphs were to be made accessible from mobile devices with WAP or HTML capabilities.
This thesis describes what protocols, communications methods and algorithms are used to access the raw weather data on the weather station, format the raw data into short term summaries and then transfer the formatted data onto a UNIX-based web server for access to end-users on the Internet.
The conclusion is that the implemented weather station based on 1-Wire technology is sufficiently reliable and accurate for an online weather monitoring system for recreational users.
