Meterological Info Display
The ACAMS MET module displays all meteorological information that
is required in the tower including:
• Wind direction and speed (instantaneous, 2 min average,
10 min average)
• Barometric pressure: QNH, QFE, QFF
• Air temperature and dew point
• Runway temperature
• Cloud base and ceilometer information
• Runway visual range
• Runway status report

Typical screen layout:

The ACAMS system interfaces to the met sensors using dual servers.
The servers are equipped with interface cards appropriate for the
various sensors. The servers perform pre-processing of the met data
to provide the information required by the user. Separate client
programs running at each operator position present the data to the
user. A fault in a sensor will be indicated at the operator position.
The ACAMS system supports all known meteorological sensors.
