Weather monitoring for Air Force
Eglin Air Force Base, Florida
Located in Northwest Florida, Eglin Airforce base is the premier test and evaluation center for Air Force weapons, navigation/guidance systems and Command and Control systems.
The base has used Columbia Weather Systems weather stations since 2004. Orion Weather Stations are installed in various locations on base as resources for a range of military operations.

How does Eglin Airforce Base monitor the weather for military operations?
Initially implemented for development of the JSTAR (Joint Surveillance and Target Attack Radar System) program, the Orion Weather Stations are currently mounted at each end of a runway and are being used for historical data for “isolated weather monitoring for security equipment,” according to engineer Renzo Orezzoli.
Met data is monitored with Weather Master Software via the Weather MicroServer.
