1. Introduction
The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) will deploy the Standalone Weather Sensors (SAWS) system at up to 270 Service Level C sites. The SAWS will replace several legacy weather sensors and will provide data about wind speed, wind direction, wind gusts, ambient temperature, dew point temperature, and altimeter setting. The SAWS will serve as a backup system for the existing Automated Surface Observing System (ASOS) and Automated Weather Observing System (AWOS).
