Sidney Flight Service Station gets new weather equipment
The Sidney Airport Flight Service Station becomes the first in the nation to receive an automatic meteorological observation station AMOS from the U S Weather Bureau. The 50 foot tower and related devices provide temperature dew point wind data pressure and three hour precipitation readings every 20 minutes with sky conditions and visibility observed on site. Data goes to the FAA Weather Message Switching Center in Kansas City for nationwide access. The part time facility was chosen to test AMOS and the cost cited by staff is about 100 000 dollars with spring delivery expected.
