Embodiment Construction

[0041]FIG. 1 of the drawings shows cooperation between the novel weather analyzing and reporting station 10 and a conventional communications system utilizing cellular technology. The conventional system includes weather satellites, represented by satellite 2, radio receiving and broadcasting facilities, represented by towers 4, and cellular transmission facilities, such as Mobile Telephone Switching Offices, represented by cells 6. Satellite 4, towers 6, and cells 8 are conventional. The novel weather station 10 cooperates with these conventional facilities in gathering weather data.

[0042]Weather station 10 comprises two manually separable sections, including a receiver section 12 having radio communication apparatus therein for communicating with an external cellular radio frequency communication system, as represented by cells 6, and a sensor section 14 containing sensors for sensing local ambient weather conditions. Receiver section 12 also contains a microprocessor 16 and a sou...

Abstract

A compact, portable weather station for predicting local extreme weather conditions and for reporting remote weather conditions. The weather station has sensors for determining local temperature, barometric pressure, humidity, ambient light, and ambient static charge. A microprocessor has memory for storing data relating to past weather conditions and data processing apparatus and algorithms for determining probable developing weather conditions responsive to sensed local conditions. The weather station has a radio receiver for communicating with global weather reporting communications systems utilizing cellular communications. Operating commands, predicted local weather conditions, and remote weather conditions are annunciated in synthesized voice in any one of a variety of predetermined languages. The weather station includes voice synthesizing and recognition apparatus for annunciating verbal prompts and weather conditions, and for responding to vocal control. The weather station is formed in two separable components, one having sensors and the other having radio communications apparatus.
