 Airport Weather Observation System
airport AWOS in Hyderabad

      Meteorological measurements at Airport are crucial for safe landing and take-off of aircrafts. Precise measurement of Visibility, Pressure, Wind speed and Direction, Temperature, Humidity, Precipitation are some of the basic requirements. Runway Visual Range and cloud height near touchdown are very important parameters for Air Traffic Safety, Control and planning. The Meteorological equipments at Airports helps pilots and aviation personnel make critical decisions by providing continuous, real time information and reports on airport weather conditions.

      Our solutions are designed as per the customer requirements and also provide the flexibility to upgrade with the growth of the airport. All of our systems are scalable, with an open system architecture that makes expansion easy. We at SGS Weather have installed Airport Systems at most of the important and major Airports in India including New Delhi, Mumbai, Chennai, Hyderabad, Bangalore, Jaipur, Amritsar, Agartala, Lucknow, Durgapur and others

      We offer system capable for tailoring a complete solution to any weather-related challenge. The systems can be customized to incorporate sensors that detect runway condition as well as more problematic weather phenomena such as freezing rain, windshear and thunderstorms


We can assist in all aspects of Airport projects from initial planning through maintenance and lifecycle on-site support. The unique advantages in our aviation turnkey project offerings are

  • Trained and experienced engineers working in airport environment from long period
  • Fully configurable and modular system
  • Fully scalable to cover the needs from CATI to CATIII airports
  • Superior data accuracy and consistency
  • Guaranteed maximum data availability and reliability by duplicated Hot redundant servers
  • Seamless integration of meteorological data into other ATM systems
  • ICAO compliant reporting formats
  • State of Art - software being used at major airports in the world
  • SGS Display products for public decimation of information on LED screens, touch Kiosks and user defined information outlets
  • Provision for resident engineers for onsite operation and maintenance support.


The aviation systems are categorized as below

Digital Current Weather Information Systems - DCWIS airport weather observation system in Hyderabad        DCWIS System automatically measures meteorological parameters, derives other parameters through the software and generates aviation weather reports. The System helps pilots, aviation personnel and other users of airports take off and land safely by providing continuous, real time information and reports on airport weather conditions. These weather reports can be used to fulfill the requirements of ATC, create Pilot briefing & flight plans and generate data for the Weather Service.
      Every System is equipped with a Central Data server which processes the data, provides data storage, and includes touch screen displays for dissemination of data at ATC, MBR and duty met officer. The automatic provides the error messages and off-line sensors. This easy-to-use software is menu-driven and includes help screens for each menu. A printer is also available to help with report generation, error message reporting, and printing of archived data.
     Each sensor is supplied for the quality and accuracy. We have a long experience in aviation weather measurement. As a full system provider with a complete service portfolio, we offer DCWIS for the Small Airport System as a compact solution designed to the enduser needs. Our professional installation and maintenance services are the added advantage for the long term use of the system.

Airport Weather Observation Systems - AWOS        The AWOS sensors and systems meet the stringent requirements of the FAA and ICAO. With the modular design it is easily able to adapt and customize the AWOS system to meet any local requirements and airport touch screen display in mumbai designed by SGS Weather or specifications. The systems can be customized to incorporate sensors that detect runway condition as well as more problematic weather phenomena such as freezing rain, windshear and thunderstorms.
     Accurate and reliable determination of the Runway Visual Range (RVR) reduces airport downtime and improves safety of operations. Vaisala Transmissometer LT31 is the qualified observer of RVR providing correct visibility data without interruptions and with minimal maintenance. The LT31 provides the most accurate and reliable solution for the automatic measurement of RVR. The Meteorological Optical Range (MOR) measurement range is from 10 to 10 000 meters, which covers the full required RVR range (CATI ... CATIIIb), as well as the range required for Aeronautical Visibility (the ICAO defined visibility). The accuracy of the LT31 meets the ICAO and WMO requirements.
The sensor complement of the AWOS may also include the following:
  • Wind Speed / Wind Direction
  • Temperature / Humidity
  • Dew Point
  • Barometric Pressure (QNH, QFE)
  • Present Weather (Precipitation Identification)
  • Cloud Height and Sky Condition
  • Density Altitude
  • Runway Surface Sensor
  • Solar Radiation
  • Lightning/Thunderstorm Detection

      AWOS systems and solutions are designed to grow with your airport, making them the smart choice for long-term investment. All of our AWOS systems are scalable, with an open system architecture that makes upgrading and expansion easy. We offer the best resources and capabilities for tailoring a complete solution to any weather-related challenge.

Helipad Systems        We have installed and commissioned meteorological system at heliport by SGS Weather Heliport Weather systems on building rooftops, onshore and offshore helipads. The design of our system is completely flexible as per the site and customer needs.
      We provide real-time weather reports for pilots and helipad operators. It helps pilots and aviation personnel make critical decisions on the landing platforms during the critical weather.
     The sensors requirements at the helipads completely depend upon the enduser needs. The most common sensors that may be the part of the system are:
  • Wind Speed / Wind Direction
  • Temperature / Humidity
  • Barometric Pressure
  • Present Weather (Precipitation Identification)
  • Cloud Height and Sky Condition
Real time Airport Lightning information – GLD       We sell Vaisala’s Airport Lightning Information System (ALIS) service which helps customers make well-informed decisions that optimize safety and efficiency at airports Vaisala GLD imposed on Satellite
Primary Needs for Lightning Detection at Airports:
  • Present weather thunderstorm reporting
  • Low level wind shear watches
  • Cloud to ground lightning warnings for outdoor personnel
  • Avoiding thunderstorm hazards and lightning strikes to airplanes in the terminal approach area
     ALIS is a hosted service powered by Vaisala’s unique GLD360TM dataset. For airport professionals, Vaisala ALIS provides an instant web access to an advanced lightning display with clear alarm areas and messages, usable with only minimal training.
   Fully compliant with the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) requirements, Vaisala ALIS issues present weather thunderstorm alerts for Meteorological Observers when lightning is within 5 nmi (9 km) or 10 nmi (19 km). To protect outdoor ground operations personnel, ALIS issues cloud-to-ground lightning warnings based on customer-selected warning criteria. In addition, ALIS issues low-level wind shear watches for Air Traffic Controllers to improve situational awareness when lightning occurs within 30 km of an airport.
     Air traffic controllers can also use the ALIS web-based display to help pilots avoid flying through hazardous thunderstorms in the terminal approach area and avoid severe turbulence, wind shear, hail, and natural/airplane triggered lightning strikes to airplanes.
Other Equipments which are optionally available with Airport Equipments are Standalone lightning Sensor
Pressure, Temperature and Humidity Travel standards for onsite calibrations
Public Airport Data Decimation LED Screen with Embedded OS and GPRS
