Automatic weather stations being installed at airports

This is in conjunction with the recent launch of the Global Navigational Satellite System (GNSS) project.

GNSS delivers new instrument approach landing charts and enables satellite-based navigation at up to 45 airports and airstrips nationwide.

An automatic weather station is an automated version of the traditional weather station, either to save human labour or to enable measurements from remote areas.

It allows pilots to actually have access to detailed current weather conditions on the ground as they’re flying using GPS.
