The professional weather station is distinguished from a personal weather station in that it is more reliable and meets National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) accuracy requirements.
The console provides readouts of the data being collected. These consoles may interface to a personal computer where data can be displayed, stored, and uploaded to web sites or data ingestion/distribution systems.
Measurements: anemometer , wind vane , thermometer , hygrometer , barometer , rain gauge and solar radiation , which calculates evapotransporation. More sophisticated stations may also measure the ultraviolet (UV) index , leaf wetness , soil moisture , soil temperature , water temperature , and occasionally other data.
