Weather
Introduction
Weather is a Windows 2008 server responsible for the collection and display of climate data. Weather downloads data from Campbell Scientific based weather stations via Loggernet. It collects data from other networks using Python scripts to download the data, and it serves the data via the Microsoft IIS server, using Perl scripts in a CGI environment.
Downloading of Raw Data
Raw data is downloaded using Loggernet for the New Mexico Climate Center, Elephant Butte Irrigation District, and NMSU Viticuluture networks. Various other stations not belonging to larger networks are also downloaded via Loggernet. Python and Perl scripts are used to download the data from the rest of the networks the climate center collects from. All raw data is initially stored under the following directory:
D:\webroot\raw_data\<<network>>\
Where <<network>> is an abbreviated name, or ID, of a weather station network. For example, the New Mexico Climate Center network would be abbreviated nmcc. The NMSU Viticulture network would be abbreviated wine, etc.
