ABSTRACT:
A computer-based system for collecting and displaying weather information includes a microprocessor-based computer programmed to receive digital signals encoding weather data collected at each weather station; and to store and retrieve those digital signals in predetermined screen buffers to generate weather data screens displaying alphanumeric and graphic displays of weather data. The system further includes multiple weather stations, each comprised of one or more weather instruments, each capable of sensing a particular weather parameter and converting that parameter into a analog electrical signal, with means for converting the analog signal into a series of digital signals corresponding to the values of the weather parameter over time. The system further including means for communicating the digital signals from the weather stations to the computer and means for displaying the data screens to multiple end users in real time. Remote weather stations are connected to the computer by conventional modem/telephone hookups. Display screen data output from the computer is converted to a television broadcast quality signal so that the data screens may be broadcast or otherwise delivered to television viewers through conventional television delivery systems.
