The collection of meteorological data for wind and solar energy studies has been facilitated through the development of electronic weather stations. The Weather Wizard is a microprocessor controlled weather station which can be programmed for specialized applications such as wind and solar energy resource assessment. Use of the Weather Wizard during a recent wind energy related project is discussed.
