RAWS

I've been playing around with a program to download weather data (specifically wind speeds) and generate a KML file for Google Earth. In the course of this, I discovered a cool device called a RAWS, Remote Automated Weather Station which various agencies install in ... well, "remote" locations. The stations run off of a solar charged battery and transmit data in real time to satellites. pretty cool.
