Citizen Weather Observer Program

1. to collect weather data contributed by citizens;
2. to make these data available for weather services and homeland security;
3. to provide feedback to the data contributors so that they have the tools to check and improve their data quality.

Weather data is sent to the CWOP servers by the many members and will end up as one of three display formats.

Here is my set of three for :- CW8645

  findU
  Is a database archiving weather, position, telemetry, and message data.
  The primary source of data is an amateur radio system called APRS, some
  weather data comes from an Internet based system called the Citizen
  Weather Observer Program. This large (58 GB) database is hosted on two
  servers using data replication techniques. the data is constantly updated
  (about 20 new reports come in every second), and is accessed via a number
  of dynamic web pages. Some examples:

  Weather reports
  Position reports
  Long term vehicle tracking
  Telemetry
  Messages
 

Using Find U I have found :-

APRS-IS (Automatic Packet Reporting System-Internet Service)

Is the common name given to the Internet-based network which interconnects various APRS radio networks throughout the world (and space). APRS-IS is maintained and operated by volunteer amateur radio operators to provide world-wide capabilities to the APRS RF networks, to promote public service (Citizens Weather, for example), and to promote the amateur radio service as a whole.
