        Station Name:
         Rowan County Airport
        City:
         Salisbury, NC
        Elevation:
         773 feet above sea level
        Network:
         
          AWOS
          (about)
          
        NC DOT/FAA Automated Weather Observing System: Similar to ASOS, AWOS records hourly weather conditions, usually at airports. AWOS sensors are installed and maintained by the NC Department of Transportation Aviation Division following FAA guidelines. AWOS record most of the same measurements that ASOS record, but precipitation is not always recorded.

         Network Overview
      AWOS stations are typically located at smaller airports, but like their ASOS cousins, the goal of these stations is to provide the needed information for incoming and outgoing air traffic. AWOS stations report at least once per hour, and sometimes every 20 minutes. These stations are completely automated, so fields such as the visibility, present weather, and cloud cover determined by optical sensors rather than human observers, and thus may not be completely accurate especially during complex weather events.
