| Automated Weather Observation Systems
(AWOS) and Automated Surface Observation Systems (ASOS) are installed at airports across the state. They provide weather observations 24 hours a day without human involvement. The systems report wind speed and direction, ceiling, visibility, temperature, dew point, barometric pressure, and any recorded remarks. Those systems with "present weather" sensors also report cloud cover and height,
and precipitation type. State-owned AWOS systems are installed and maintained by the Bureau of Aeronautics in cooperation with each airport. For additional information and details about each Michigan
AWOS/ASOS site, including frequency and telephone access, please
